FAQ's
Can I substitute amaretto in the Death Angel cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute amaretto with almond syrup or another nut-flavored liqueur if you prefer a different flavor profile or need a non-alcoholic replacement. Keep in mind that this may alter the cocktail's taste slightly.
What are some garnishing tips for the Death Angel?
A classic garnish for the Death Angel could include an orange slice or a maraschino cherry to complement the citrus notes from the orange juice. Additionally, a sprig of mint could add a refreshing aroma.
How does the alcohol content of the Death Angel compare to other cocktails?
With an alcohol content of 5.83%, the Death Angel is relatively light compared to many classic cocktails, which often range from 10% to 40% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes it a good choice for those seeking a milder cocktail experience.
What is the ideal serving suggestion for a Death Angel cocktail?
The Death Angel is best served in a lowball glass over ice to maintain its cold temperature. Given its citrusy flavor profile, it's an excellent choice for summer gatherings or as a refreshing drink option at casual events.
Why is the Death Angel cocktail stirred and not shaken?
The Death Angel is stirred, not shaken, to gently mix the ingredients without diluting the cocktail too much. Stirring helps to maintain the integrity of the flavors, especially for cocktails that are spirit-forward and do not contain ingredients that need emulsification like egg whites or cream.

Love this cocktail - try using spiced rum instead of white rum to take this drink to the next level
I tried it with coconut rum. Real good.
