- The craft of mixing drinks, making cocktails, and related skills of tending a bar.
- 2023, Rylie Dark, Where You Go:
- "I need to know if any of them took a specific drink order recently. An angel shot."
The manager raised an eyebrow. "Angel shot? Isn't that--"
Kelly nodded. In the bartending business, it was well known that an "angel shot" wasn't a real drink, but was instead a code word that women could use to signal that they were in trouble.
