Angel's Tip

Pro tips

• Chill your glass before serving to keep the cocktail cold longer and enhance its creamy texture.
• Shake or stir gently with ice to avoid over-aerating the cream, which can affect the smooth mouthfeel.
• Use fresh sweet cream or heavy cream if possible — older cream may curdle when mixed with alcohol.

Substitutions

• Sweet cream → heavy cream or half-and-half (maintains creamy texture)
• White crème de cacao → dark crème de cacao (richer chocolate flavor, darker appearance)
• White crème de cacao → Bailey's Irish Cream (adds coffee notes and thickness)

Storage & make-ahead

Angel's Tip is best consumed immediately after preparation. Do not store the mixed cocktail.
