Happy Sunday everyone! The weather goes crazy, the temperatures dropped from almost 40 degrees two days ago to 20 degrees with a lot of rain. The colder temperatures called for a more boozy drink, so here we go with a 💋Widow’s Kiss💋, my first calvados cocktail here at drinkstagram. I made it with 4cl calvados, 2cl D.O.M. Bénédictine, 2cl yellow Chartreuse liqueur and 2 dashes angostura bitters. A wonderfully herbal afternoon sipp. And not my last calvados cocktail… Cheers and have a great Sunday! 💋 #cheers #cocktail #cocktailoftheday #cocktailhour #cocktailtime #cocktailgram #instadrink #drinkup #drinkstagram #drink #drinkoftheday #calvados #calvadoscocktail #imbibe #homebartender #homebar #dombenedictine #dombénédictine #calvadoscouperne #angostura #yellowchartreuse #chartreusejaune #rcropera #whatsandreasdrinking #booze #cubesincoupes #widowskisscocktail #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #classiccocktails
