Citrusy

The Merry Widow(er) is a sophisticated cocktail known for its botanically rich and slightly herbal profile. With a backbone of gin, it's balanced with the complexity of dry vermouth, the subtle sweetness of Bénédictine, and a dash of absinthe, all brought together with Creole-style bitters.
