Corpse Reviver No 2

With just a rinse of Absinthe, To underscore its flair, There’s no pretense in its name, It’s meant to raise your hair The sweet essence of Cointreau, Balanced by a Lillet wine, Endorses juice of lemon, By its own design When added to the shaker, Iced and ready to begin, It’s time to add what’s crucial, Your favorite old dry gin Now shake till your bones rattle, Whatever else you do And you’ll not soon forget the Corpse Reviver no. 2 10/16/17 The Corpse reviver No.2 was invented in the 1920's. It was designed as a hangover cure!

That's very different from Love Potion no. 1 :) Love this, the mix of drinks (absinthe!), the rhyme, everything. Great poem.
