Corpse Reviver #1

Corpse Revivers were a style of drink which were intended for a bit of the hair of the dog (an expression that refers to alcohol used as a treatment for a hangover). Hard to say exactly what it was about these drinks that made them seem more appropriate for this use than other drinks. This particular version isn't seen very often.

Corpse Reviver #1

2 ounces brandy
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 ounce applejack

Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
