Angel's Tip



Angel's Tip:
  • 3/4 oz. Creme de Cacao
  • 1/4 oz. cream
Float cream on Creme de Cacao in a Pousse Cafe (shot) glass and garnish with cherry.

Yep, here we have a shot composed almost entirely of Creme de Cacao. Can you guess what I thought about it?

I will say, the cherry added a lot to the shot. I really need to find a Creme de Cacao that I like, but I'm afraid that this grand experiment in mixology is going to turn me off of the stuff for good. Too sweet, too chemically-tasting. When straight cream is used as a mellowing agent, you know it's got to be rough.

    This one looks pretty, but doesn't sound appetizing.

    Yeah. Turns out though, eating the cherry as you're drinking the shot helps a lot. I have to make a mental note to come back and try some of these again when I find a good creme de cacao (which is ironic, since Marie Brizard is a great brand, but I guess even the best brands can't do everything well), or maybe go shopping sometime soon and start subbing in a different product. But it goes to show you, garbage in, garbage out.
