Named after the darkly comedic 1939 play about two elderly sisters who poison lonely old men, this Prohibition-era cocktail balances botanical gin with the subtle floral notes of crème de violette. The blanc vermouth adds a honeyed softness while a whisper of absinthe contributes an herbal, anise-tinged edge. The result is elegant and deceptively smooth.
