Presented by Cooks’ World and Pinnacle Wine & Liquor I admit I’m irreverent at times. Not unfaithful, but irreverent. And because I’m irreverent, my delicious and theologically accurate cocktail every Easter Sunday since Easter 2020 is … a Corpse Reviver. The Corpse Reviver cocktail is more of an idea than a specific recipe. The idea … Continue reading Cocktails of the Week: Corpse Revivers No. 1 and No. 2
