You can see it now. Bosley’s laying on a sunny beach in Baja, Mexico, thinking he’s far, far away on vacation where nobody can find him. The next thing you know, he gets a call from Charlie’s Angel.

In a tall glass filled with cubed or cracked ice, shake and strain 1 ½ oz Maestro Citrus Mezcal, 1oz Grand Marnier, a dash of Fee Brothers orange bitters, a splash of orange and grapefruit juice. Top with Schweppes club soda. Garnish with a lime squeeze.

Teasing and coming on strong, well, what could be nicer. For there’s no better gift than a Naughty Angel. This heavenly creation goes in a snifter glass, poured straight in and served straight up, getting 2 oz Godet white chocolate liqueur and ¾ oz Bacardi 151 rum.

A classic cocktail, but get a shave will ya ?

Smooth and silky, but you better hold on for your life, for where she takes you, no one knows. This Satin Angel goes in a highball glass filled with cubed or cracked ice. Pour over ice 1oz Frangelico hazelnut liqueur, then partial fill with cream, and top with ice cold Coca-Cola.

If you love the spirit of the cane, then this drink is for you. The Black Devil is a stir and strain drink, up in a chilled cocktail glass (a white frosted glass would be cool) with 2 oz of 10 Cane white rum and ¼ oz Gallo dry vermouth. Garnish with a black olive.

If you look up to the Starz on a clear night, you could be blessed with the fortune of seeing a Fallen Angel. If you catch her before she touches ground, what will happen ?
