Fennel Corpse Reviver #2
A smooth yet pungent blend of citrus, fennel & gin aromatics, this take on the Savoy’s classic Corpse Reviver #2 is lighter than the standard with over an ounce less alcohol. It has a more pronounced fennel flavor thanks to the simple syrup with replaces the classic absinthe rinse.
