Review:

A mash-up of the Widow's Kiss and Last Word or, as fellow Discerning Drinker, Andrew Gelb pointed out in a comment on our Last Word cocktail page, "a Monte Cassino with the rye replaced by calvados or apple brandy --> Delicious!"

History:

Created by Boston cocktail enthusiast, Eric Witz who shared his equal parts recipe via Instagram in late 2015. A drier, more apple brandy-forward, version was created by cocktail photographer, Chase Hoffman who shared his recipe via Flickr: "1.5 oz unaged apple brandy, 1.0 oz fresh lemon juice. 1.0 oz Yellow Chartreuse, 0.5 oz Bénédictine."
