We present a Fermi liquid approach to superconducting Kondo problems applicable when the Kondo temperature is large compared to the superconducting gap. To illustrate the theory, we study the current-phase relation and the Andreev level spectrum for an Anderson impurity between two $s$-wave superconductors. In the particle-hole symmetric Kondo limit, we find a $4\pi$ periodic Andreev spectrum. The $4\pi$ periodicity persists under a small voltage bias which however causes an asymmetric distortion of Andreev levels. The latter distinguishes the present $4\pi$ effect from the one in topological Majorana junctions.
