The Angel Face

This Prohibition-era classic is elegant, refined, and packs an unapologetic punch. Featuring Luxardo London Dry Gin, Luxardo Apricot Albicocca and C. Drouin Calvados in equal parts,the Angel Face is old-fashioned in a way that intrigues modern palates, as it manages to findbeautiful balance without two mainstays of modern mixology, sugar and citrus.

Inspired by Angel Face, an infamous gangster of the American Prohibition, its name belies a hidden boldness: the first sip is delicious and inviting, balancing sweet apricot with dry gin. But dont let its smooth, heavenly flavors fool you the Angel Face blends three full-strength spirits for a roaring 30s-style punch
