At Nahita in Boston, I once lamented that the Corpse Reviver #1 from the Savoy didn't measure up to its successor, the CR#2. Recalling how the Saratoga Cocktail was revitalized with Peychaud's and Benedictine in a Vieux Carré, I decided to blend these herbal elements into the CR#1 to give it some much-needed depth and character.
