IBA
Conceived in the 1920s by Harry MacElhone at his legendary Paris bar, the Angel Face is a quietly complex equal-parts drink that reflects the era's fondness for bold, spirit-forward combinations. Calvados brings an earthy Norman apple character, apricot brandy adds a honeyed stone-fruit warmth, and the gin threads through with its botanical structure, creating a drink far more nuanced than its three ingredients suggest.
