Angel's Tip

Pro tips

• Chill your glass before serving to keep the drink cold longer without over-watering it.
• Use fresh, high-quality sweet cream or heavy cream—older or low-fat options may split or separate.
• Stir gently and briefly to avoid creating excess foam or breaking the cream's emulsion.
• For a layered presentation, pour crème de cacao first, then slowly float the cream over the back of a bar spoon.

Substitutions

• White crème de cacao → Dark crème de cacao (richer chocolate flavor, darker color)
• Sweet cream → Heavy cream (thicker, richer texture) or half-and-half (lighter mouthfeel)
• Sweet cream → Coconut cream (tropical variation, slightly nutty sweetness)

What is the best way to serve Angel's Tip?

Serve chilled over ice or as a straight pour in a coupe glass. Some variations float the cream on top for visual effect.

Can I make Angel's Tip without sweet cream?

Heavy cream, half-and-half, or whole milk work as substitutes, though they will change the richness and mouthfeel.

Is Angel's Tip a shaken or stirred cocktail?

It's typically stirred gently with ice to chill without over-dilution, or served neat depending on preference.

What flavor profile should I expect?

Expect sweet, creamy vanilla and cocoa notes with a silky texture. It drinks more like a dessert than a traditional cocktail.
