Every day a different drink. Not just how to make them, but a detailed review of how they actually taste, photos of the drinks, and stories along the way. Starting from the beginning, The Bartender's Black Book will be our guide, taking us

#66: Angel's Tit (floater)

1 oz Dark Creme de Cacao
1 oz Milk or Cream
Float the milk or cream on top.
Garnish with a cherry on a toothpick across the top of the glass


Which would you rather have, a kiss from an Angel, or a peek at an Angel's Tit? Answer honestly.

This drink is exactly the same as the Angel Kiss, but with the cherry suspended over it. Wow, that's a lot of effort for two drinks that are basically the same.

But wait, drop the cherry into the shot glass, and down the whole thing in one gulp. This was much better than the Angel Kiss, with the cherry adding another dimension of flavor that really helped. Not that this needed added sweetness, but the cherry flavor was definitely a positive addition that really helped make a slightly boring drink much more interesting. And it was definitely better to look at.

I noticed an ad on TV today for Campbells' Soup, part of their new campaign to promote healthier, more nutritious soups. Supposedly. One of the claims made in the ad was that the ingredients are "farm grown". Well, isn't that just so special? I personally prefer my vegetables to be grown in a vat in some industrial complex, but to each his own. How stupid do they think we are? Next thing they'll be telling us that their soups use "all real ingredients".
