Wikipedia says, "The Corpse Reviver #2 is the more popular of the corpse revivers, and consists of equal parts gin, lemon juice, triple sec (commonly Cointreau), Kina Lillet, and a dash ofabsinthe. The dash of absinthe can either be added to the mix before shaking, or added to the cocktail glass and moved around until the glass has been coated with a layer of absinthe. It can also be used to coat the edge of the glass to give a subtle absinthe aroma and flavor to the drink.[3][4]
As the Corpse Reviver #2 cocktail was invented at a time when Lillet used the original Kina Lillet formulation, some have taken to using Cocchi Americano instead of Lillet Blanc in this cocktail in order to approximate the taste of the original cocktail"
