Cocktail - Corpse Reviver Number 2

 Julia Reed's Corpse Reviver No. 2

Adapted from But Mama Always Put Vodka in Her Sangria

For one drink

1 ounce Plymouth Gin

1 ounce Orange Liqueur*

1 ounce Lillet Blanc

1 ounce lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon Pernod

1 Luxardo cherry for garnish

Shake, shake, shake the first four ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice until very cold.  Serve in a coupe glass garnished with a cherry.

*Regarding orange liqueur, it's easy to make this harder than it has to be. If you make cocktails at home, you will most likely have already made the decision about what orange liqueur you like best - Triple Sec, Curaçao, Cointreau, Grand Marnier, and a lot of others.

I personally prefer Mathilde Orange XO.
