Corpse Reviver

After a rough week at work and to brace myself for the holidays I needed a drink with a pick-me-up.  What could be more appropriate than the Corpse Reviver?  This one comes from Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails from Ted Haigh - It's one of the great cocktail books that I am starting my collection with.  



1 oz gin
1 oz Cointreau
1 oz Lillet Blanc
1 oz lemon juice
1-3 drops absinthe or pastis
Shake all ingredients together with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a stemless cherry.

If anyone has suggestions on building a great collection of cocktail-lit please let me know in the comments.
