ASTAROTH
Since it’s a cousin cocktail to the Archangel, I chose the archdemon Astaroth for the name. He is the Great Duke of Hell, and one of the legs in the Evil Trinity, along with Lucifer and Beelzebub. If you wish to invoke Astaroth it must be through necromantic divination. Sidebar – you probably don’t want to do necromancy, it’s really hard. Astaroth teaches all the sciences and is keeper of the secrets of the past, present, and future. He also encourages slothfulness and laziness. Which, you’ll see in a second, is one of the reasons I chose him as the titular demon of this cocktail.
