Angel's Tip

Pro tips

• Shake with ice for 10–15 seconds to properly emulsify the cream and liqueur; over-shaking will break the mixture.
• Chill your glassware beforehand to keep the drink cold longer and improve texture.
• Use light cream or half-and-half; heavy cream is too thick and will coat the palate.
• Strain carefully to avoid foam overflow; a fine-mesh strainer helps catch ice chips.

Substitutions

• Light cream → half-and-half (slightly richer, more common)
• Light cream → whole milk (thinner, less creamy result)
• Mr. Boston Crème de Cacao (White) → dark crème de cacao (deeper chocolate note, darker color)
