Playing around with the Angel Face for about the last week alot of variations came about. The first thing that was altered was switching the Calvados out for Cognac. I found the drink good but way to sweet, although the cognac was a push in the right direction. Next up was an offering by A.Hardy, a nice VSOP that we felt was a great fit. Then a surprise, the long wait was over. The new bottle of Hennessy Black came in and now we had some ideas to toss around. A conversation with Tyler, a bartender working at the Violet Hour suggested using Rothman & Winters Orchard Apricot Liqueur. Time for some mixing. After a few trails and error we found a cocktail not overly sweet but with a lot of character and depth, the perfect combination.
