We do our best at Alchemix to deliver the most accurate history possible within the murky and hazy realm of cocktail history. By and large, the reason why that is possible is because of the historical writings of David Wondrich, undoubtedly the best Cocktail Historian to ever live and one of the last great Journalists in any field.
At Alchemix, we consider both Punch and Imbibe mandatory reading for high level bartenders and anybody interested in Cocktail History. Please consider buying the books through our affiliate links below in which we make a small commission. It’s a great way to support the show!

The Alchemy,
In a mixing glass, add bitters, Benedictine, Yellow Chartreuse, and Calvadose in that order. Ice your glass. Stir. Strain into a Cocktail Glass. Imbibe.
The Lore,
George J. Kappeler was a German barman who worked at the Holland House while the first cocktail revolution was blossoming at the turn of the century. It was there that he invented the Widow’s Kiss and published it in his own Modern American Drinks in 1895. As to the widow he's referring to, nobody knows.
The Philosophy,
Kappeler was one of the first barmen to publish a cocktail with the use of Yellow Chartreuse or a cordial at all for that matter as they were not yet widely used at that time.
The Era,
1985. The beginning of the first cocktail revolution.
The Geology,
‘Holland House hotel at Fifth Ave and Thirteenth Street.’ - David Wondrich, imbibe!
The Essence,
This cocktail is best described by the following quote:
‘It is a cocktail of fall turning toward winter.’ - Ted Haigh. Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails.
The herbaceousness makes this drink shine. As David Wondrich highlights in imbibe!, it was a bold move using a split liqueur in a cocktail at that time. The Apple Brandy doubles down on the sweetness, also found in the Benedictine and Yellow Chartreuse. And with a nice acidic balance of Angostura Bitters. This is a beautifully balanced cocktail. Though we should give the one caveat that, as mentioned above, there is absolutely a seasonality to this cocktail. Not recommended for the summer, but a great drink.

The Widows Kiss Cocktail #shorts #cocktail #lairds
The Widows Kiss is packed full of flavor. The two French Liqueurs and teh apple brandy wrap themselves around each other, sucking every drop of sweet sweet flavor out of this drink. then it puts a pillow of tastes over your face with the angostura bitters until you cant breath... this metaphor got away from me. Let's not let this classic from the late 1800s do the same.
Widows Kiss
1.5 oz. Lairds Apple Jack
.5 oz. Yellow Chartreuse
.5 oz. Benedictine
2 dashes Angostura bitters
