History:

Named after the character played by Scarlett Johansson in eight Marvel movies, including two which also starred Jeremy Renner. In 2023, Renner featured a Black Widow's Bite cocktail in a promotional video for delivery firm Drizly. His version of this cocktail was made with orange rather than blue curaçao and based on Sweet Grass Vodka, a brand he co-owns.

Review:

Essentially a Screwdriver blued (not quite blackened) by blue curaçao and served straight-up.
