Make An Angel Wing Cocktail

Bar sign


An Angel Wing cocktail is a very simple, classic cocktail that was invented around 1900 in London, England. It is not clear anymore who invented the drink, perhaps because there are so few ingredients. However, the Angel Wing cocktail remains an exceptional mixed drink for brandy fans and old-time cocktail connoisseurs. This recipe makes one Angel Wing cocktail, served in the traditional method, in a chilled cocktail glass with a twisted lemon peel for garnish.


Instructions


1. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with crushed ice.


2. Add the brandy, apricot brandy and cr#xE8;me de cacao to the cocktail shaker.


3. Cover the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds.


4. Strain the contents of the cocktail shaker into a chilled cocktail glass.


5. Garnish the drink with a twisted lemon peel and serve.


Tips Warnings


Give this drink a stronger kick with a dash of absinthe added to the cocktail shaker.


If you want a sweeter drink, add a dash of plain simple syrup right before shaking.
