Widow's Kiss - The Right Stuff! Whether the old or new.
Time to go full-on Francophile with Calvados, French apple brandy, and 2 French liqueurs. Benedictine and Yellow Chartreuse. George Kappeler, a bartender from the Holland House Hotel, published the recipe for the Widow’s Kiss in his collection of Modern American Drinks in the 1890s.
I’ve made 2 versions of the drink here. One which has the original ratios, and one where the herbal liqueurs are toned back a bit letting the Calvados shine through more clearly. Depending on your comfort with Chartreuse and Benedictine the adjusted “modern” version may be more to your liking. The original, however, is a drink to behold. It’s a fantastic balance between each of the ingredients, Calvados coming in full gallop at the front and the sweetness of the liqueurs rounded out by just a touch of bitterness.
As I was checking out the recipe an album by Robert Calvert of Hawkwind came to mind. Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters. A satirical look at the Lockheed Starfighter F-104 that the Luftwaffe used from the 60s through to the 80s. It was nicknamed the “Widowmaker” due to the number of crashes and pilots killed. If you‘ve not heard it, check it out. Some excellent tunes.
Cheers, and enjoy your Widow’s Kisses.
