Today I’m making a classic cocktail - the Widow's Kiss! I'll make this one 3 ways, because it's evolved over the years. The original recipe dates back to 1895 - it's a sweet drink that's dominated by herbal liqueurs (mixing with these liqueurs was a new and exciting thing back then). Now days it's common to see this drink with drier specs. Although I like this better, the ratios I prefer are somewhere in the middle. Give these a try, see what you like best - or feel free to balance the Widow's Kiss to your taste! Cheers!
