The bartender Mimi Burnham’s take on the Corpse Reviver makes use of some uncommon ingredients that are worth seeking out: a barrel-aged Genever (a particularly rich and flavorful Dutch gin) and Grand Liqueur de Sapins (a sweet, seductive liqueur made with pine buds). When she has time, Burnham cuts orange peel into the shapes of tiny men and sets them to float, or drown, in the drink; I wholeheartedly endorse this garnish.

Very nice! Though I wouldn't have blamed Rosie if it hadn't been - most of my ingredients were substitutions (Bols Genever, cheaper O3 instead of Cointreau, Zirbenz pine liqueur for the rinse, and Cocchi Americano, which I always use instead of Lillet in CR 2's). It's not as big of a difference from the standard CR 2 as I might have expected, so next time I might use a heavier hand with the rinse.
