History & Origin

The Angels Kiss is a classic layered shot dating back to the early 20th century. The contrast between dark chocolate liqueur and pure white cream creates a visually striking two-tone effect. Topped with a cherry, its one of the more elegant and romantic shots in the bartenders repertoire.
