Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Use a bar spoon to gently pour each layer — tilt the spoon and let liquid flow slowly down the handle to prevent mixing.
Chill the glass with ice water before serving; cold temperatures help layers stay distinct longer.
Pour in exact order by density: crème de cacao (heaviest), crème de Yvette, brandy, then cream floated last on the surface.
Serve immediately after layering — the longer it sits, the more layers will naturally blend.

Substitutions

Crème de Yvette → violet liqueur or crème de violette (similar color and floral notes, but different intensity)
Sweet Cream → heavy cream or Irish cream liqueur (heavier pour; adjust ratio to maintain balance)

Equipment

bar spoon · liqueur glasses or coupe glasses · jigger

Common Questions

What is the correct order to layer Angel's Kiss?

Pour in order: crème de cacao, crème de Yvette, brandy, then float sweet cream on top using the back of a bar spoon.

Can I substitute crème de Yvette in this recipe?

Crème de Yvette is distinctive, but violet liqueur or crème de violette can approximate the flavor and color, though the taste will differ slightly.

Should Angel's Kiss be served cold?

Yes, chill the glass beforehand and serve immediately after layering for the best texture and flavor separation.

Why didn't my layers separate?

Layers depend on specific gravity differences. Pour each ingredient slowly over the back of a bar spoon, and ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
