History

This cocktail is mentioned in O. O. McIntyre's New-York-Day-By-Day column in The Washington Herald on the 24th November 1915, "Sailors who come to Broadway for a touch of high life have invented a new drink called the Submarine Kiss." "The liquid combination is a milky white above and purple below and the submarine effect is secured after drinking about three."

Review

Looks stunning and gives the drinker the option to sip or swirl to mix the sweet liqueur base into the body of the drink.

quick question, any idea what this glass is called or where i could purchase it from?

We photographed this cocktail 15+ years ago, long before I started recording details of the glasses used. However, I suspect LSA (https://www.lsa-international.com/drinkware/champagne-glasses) but I doubt still available.

Quick question: why is the picture so distinctly red in the bottom, rather than purple or blue?

Simon Difford Verified User Premium Member 6y

Good question and thanks for bringing to my attention. The answer is that this cocktail should be made with Crème Yvette and not Crème de Violette. I have now corrected the recipe.
