Broadway Smile Cocktail
1/3 Creme de Cassis (Brizard Cassis de Bourdeaux)
1/3 Swedish Punch (Facile Swedish Punch)
1/3 Cointreau
Use liqueur glass and pour carefully so that ingredients do not mix.
Of the layered liqueur cocktails I’ve tried so far, I have to say this is my favorite. Unfortunately, it involves an ingredient you’re going to need to make yourself, [...]
As it happens, I enjoy a good dessert wine, (or “pudding wine” as our English friends call them,) from time to time.
I have an especial weakness for Sauterne and Tokaji Aszú. Well, not to mention Port, Trockenbeerenauslese, Pedro Ximénez…
Anyway, given this unhealthy interest in sweet wines, and an especial fondness for apples, I was [...]
Blanche Cocktail
1/3 Anisette (1/2 oz Anis del Mono Dulce or as Mrs. Underhill calls it, “Devil Juice”)
1/3 White Curacao (1/2 oz Brizard Orange Curacao)
1/3 Cointreau (1/2 oz Cointreau)
(dash Regan’s Orange Bitters)

1/3 Crème de Violette. (Benoit-Serres Liqueur de Violette)
Use liqueur glass and poor ingredients carefully so that they do not mix.

Strangely, this was my favorite of the layered “Angel” [...]
Angel’s Wing Cocktail
1/2 Crème de Cacao. (Bols)
1/2 Prunelle Brandy. (Home made Sugar Plum Liqueur)
Use liqueur glass and pour ingredients carefully so that they do not mix. Pour a little sweet, cream on top.
Even this one wasn’t so bad, really. I think it was just shoe horning that violette in with the darker flavors of [...]
Angel’s Tip Cocktail
3/4 Liqueur Glass Crème de Cacao.
1/4 Fresh Cream.
Use liqueur glass and float cream.
Another layered after dinner cocktail.
The Angel’s Tip is not nearly as vile as the Angel’s Kiss. I would call this one at least “drinkable.”
I still recommend you have a glass of coffee or tea nearby to cut the sweetness.
Heck, if [...]

I try to give Savoy Cocktail Book cocktails a fair shake, but this is just vile. I can’t imagine anyone enjoying [...]
