about the cocktail

Epiphany No. 2 was created for our Bring the Bright cocktail challenge in August 2026 by Winnipeg bartender Dale Brown (@dalebrownfiddleplayer). A bright riff on the Corpse Reviver No. 2, it layers Altamura vodka with lemongrass-infused limoncello and fresh lime, finished with an absinthe rinse and a lively splash of ginger beer. Dale explains, “I wanted to take the idea of a corpse reviver no. 2 and bring in some more exotic complimentary flavours. Just needed to adjust the brightness control, and add some bubbles for lift and fun.”
