The Widow's Kiss is a fairly old cocktail, dating back to around 1895. This was during a time when a new age of cocktails were coming into existence as bartenders were letting it expand beyond it's previously held definition of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters. They were experimenting with the use of vermouth (and hence the Martini and Manhattan), as well as various herbal liqueurs which would have previously been simply sipped neat. The Window's Kiss doubles up on it's elixir content by using both Chartreuse and Benedictine. If you can only find green Chartreuse and not yellow, you can substitute it if you cut back on it by about a third.

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.
