My secret? Sunscreen.

So I'm at the Ballard liquor store on Friday, because my sister told me about a drink in the latest Bon Appetit, the Widow's Touch. It's a variation on an old classic I hadn't heard of, the Widow's Kiss.

I want to try out the original, but they don't have ANY of the ingredients, which are Calvados, Yellow Chartreuse, and Benedictine (yes, it's an expensive drink). They do have one ingredient for the version in the magazine, Laird's Applejack, which I already keep in my liquor cabinet because it's so versatile in the fall. (Hot spiced cider! Applejack toddies! Hot Buttered Apple Grogs! Straight shots!)

Anyway, I end up buying  a bottle of Spudka. And I get carded.
