Cadáver Reviver

Just in time for Halloween partying is this spookily named cocktail, the Cadáver Reviver. While it is not scary in appearance (i.e. this cocktail does not contain ingredients simulating blood or other ghoulish additives), it is based on tequila which is dangerous enough by itself! I like the wonderfully complex yet fresh taste of this cocktail; to me it is a very interesting twist on a margarita. It is an easy sipper that will either keep you dancing at the party or will get you to relax into a semi-catatonic state. So which do you decide to be – the Thriller or a Zombie? Either way, this cocktail satisfies!
