Chill Your Glass: Start by chilling a coupe glass. You can fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail if it is not already chilled.
Rinse with Absinthe: Discard the ice water from the glass and add a dash of absinthe. Swirl it around to coat the inside of the glass, then discard the excess. This creates a subtle anise aroma that enhances the drinking experience.
Shake It Up: In a cocktail shaker, combine the gin, Cointreau, Lillet Blanc, and lemon juice. Add ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want the drink to be well-chilled and properly diluted.
Strain and Serve: Double-strain the mixture into your prepared coupe glass. This ensures a smooth, silky texture.
Garnish: Finish with a lemon twist.
And there you have it—a perfectly balanced Corpse Reviver No. 2!
