History
A stirred riff on the beloved Corpse Reviver #2, the Anabasis relegates the lemon juice to just a twist and brings in the maltiness of Ransom Old Tom Gin as match to Armagnac's complex spice. Cocchi American also subs in for Lillet Blanc, acting as a bridge between the sweet, spice and citrus notes of the other ingredients. The name Anabasis refers to the antonym of "katabasis", or "underworld", and indicates a trip from a country's coastline back into its interior.
