Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 2 dash Peychaud's Bitters; 8 ml Bénédictine; 45 ml Cognac; 1 twst Lemon Twist; 23 ml Sweet Vermouth; 23 ml Apple Brandy

Spirit-forward and rich: cognac and apple brandy with sweet vermouth, a little Bénédictine for herbal sweetness and Peychaud's bitters. Created by Frederic Yarm at Nahita in Boston in 2018.

Frederic Yarm created the Corpse Carré at Nahita in Boston in 2018. Finding the Savoy's Corpse Reviver #1 weaker than its successor, the #2, Yarm borrowed the Peychaud's and Benedictine that turn a Saratoga into a Vieux Carré and added them to the older recipe to strengthen it.
