Cilantro Corpse Reviver – A Modern, Herbaceous Revival

CLASSIC WITH A TWIST

About the Cilantro Corpse Reviver

The Cilantro Corpse Reviver is a bold, modern reinterpretation of the classic cocktail, swapping gin for Empirical Cilantro to deliver herbal depth and subtle anise complexity. Traditionally featuring a dash of absinthe, this version achieves the same effect through the unique flavor profile of Empirical Cilantro, creating a refreshing and slightly aromatic sip.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Simple Syrup (1:1)
  • 3/4 oz Lemon Juice
  • 3/4 oz Dry Vermouth (we use Dolin Dry)
  • 3/4 oz Triple Sec (or substitute with Dry Curaçao/Cointreau and adjust simple syrup to 1/4 oz)
  • 3/4 oz Empirical Cilantro

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to a shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
  3. Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
  4. Garnish with a twist of orange zest.

Why Use Empirical Cilantro?

Empirical Cilantro brings a unique twist to this classic cocktail by offering a subtle anise-like flavor that mimics the traditional absinthe component. Its herbaceous depth complements the citrus and vermouth, creating a beautifully balanced, modern take on the original.
