CORPSE REVIVED (a take on the classic Corpse Reviver #2)

Equal parts gin, Lillet (aperitif from Bordeaux) and Cointreau.

Combine with equal parts lemon juice and simple syrup to taste.

Add a package of Emergen-C (we suggest tropical or acai), spritz the glass with a dash of absinthe, shake well and serve in a glass with an organic maraschino cherry (full of natural antioxidants)

Hostess tip: Don't get stuck behind the bar all night. Make a batch of the cocktail for easy pouring.

From now until the end of January, visit Oyster for the original Corpse Reviver #2 and receive 3 complimentary raw Oysters. (Filled with zinc and minerals, we'll take oysters over oil of oregano any day.) Bottom's up!
