FAQ's

Ingredient specifics icon

Can I use a different type of Sambuca in the Angel Eyez cocktail?

Yes, you can use a different type of Sambuca in the Angel Eyez cocktail. While the recipe calls for Black Sambuca, which imparts a unique licorice flavor along with its dark color, you can substitute it with White Sambuca if you prefer a lighter color and a slightly smoother licorice taste. The overall profile of the drink will change slightly, but it can be a good way to experiment with flavors.

Preparation techniques icon

What's the best way to achieve the cold temperature for the Angel Eyez cocktail?

The best way to achieve the cold temperature for the Angel Eyez cocktail, as it is not shaken, is to stir the ingredients with ice before straining into the shot glass. Alternatively, you can chill the ingredients and the shot glass beforehand in the freezer for a short period. This ensures the drink remains cold without being diluted by the melting ice, preserving its strong flavors.

The Angel Eyez cocktail has a relatively high alcohol content of 42.67%, making it stronger than many popular cocktails. For instance, a classic Margarita typically has around 40% alcohol content, while a Mojito is lower, around 20%. The high alcohol content in Angel Eyez is due to the combination of Vodka, Sambuca, and Absinthe, all of which are spirits with high alcohol by volume (ABV). It's a strong choice for those seeking a potent shot.
