What are some suggested garnishes for the Archangel cocktail?
For the Archangel cocktail, consider garnishing with a skewer of fresh blackberries or a twist of orange peel to add a pop of color and enhance the fruity flavor. Additionally, a float of passion fruit seeds on top can provide an attractive visual appeal and a slight crunch.
