This appropriately named velvety drink is a refined dessert in a glass.

Man, this is a good drink. I've had it a few times, and it's an instant favorite. Deserves more attention.
The volume challenged the edge of my coupe glass.

Really balanced, fruity dessert. The Tawny port really works wonders, with the egg yolk making it regal. I did not have well aged rum, so I used a little bit of Old Monk (which is vanilla forward, almost over-the-top so) with Appleton Estate Signature, which actually added a nice dryness and slight funkiness drying out the drink a bit more.

I just made this to mark the day that Shirley Bassey's song Goldfinger entered the Billboard 100 (Jan 26) at #98. I agree with the other comment - light, smooth, and delicious!

Incredibly light and smooth, almost creamy. Very unusual but delicious. Oramge nose, fruity sweet finish to me.

Appropriately brown in hue with coppery amber highlights, this is best described as a rich, syrupy coffee and vanilla Old Fashioned.
