Angel's Tip

Pro tips

• Chill your glass beforehand to keep the cocktail cold longer and prevent dilution.
• Shake vigorously with ice to ensure the cream and crème de cacao fully emulsify into a silky consistency.
• Pour immediately after shaking to preserve the smooth, frothy texture before it settles.

Substitutions

• Old Mr. Boston Crème de Cacao → any quality crème de cacao (note: flavor intensity may vary by brand)
• Sweet Cream → heavy cream thinned with a splash of milk (note: adjust ratio for desired thickness)

Can I make Angel's Tip ahead of time?

No—prepare it fresh just before serving to prevent separation and maintain the creamy texture.

Is Angel's Tip a strong cocktail?

No, it's a light, dessert-style drink with low alcohol content, making it suitable as an after-dinner sipper.

What does crème de cacao taste like?

Crème de cacao is a smooth, cocoa-flavored liqueur with subtle vanilla notes and mild sweetness.

Can I use heavy cream instead of sweet cream?

Yes, but heavy cream will create a thicker texture; use slightly less and shake well to integrate properly.
