Savoy Corpse Reviver (by Joe Gilmore)
A bite-sized brandy-laced after dinner mint chocolate. Refreshing, tasty and arguably, even aids digestion

Much as we are averse to ceding Cognac's ground to Scotch, we think that commenter A FELS may be onto something here, including the ratios. And for us, Islay single is always a welcome guest at the table. We went with an additional 5ml of a downunder Vermouth Rosso, Maidenii, which, though less deep than the di Torinos, is sumptuously broad in its botanicals and avoids an over-reliance on vanilla.

Try an after-dinner mint on the side...

Curious why this is a shaken drink?

When shaken, it's fresher and less heavy. The foamy head lingers and adds to its appearance.

Modern cognac drowns here, but blended scotch creates a remarkably vibrant combination worth community exploration. Our best effort has been the Treaty of Lyon (a nod to Savoy), a drier 2/1/1 ratio of scotch, Fernet, and creme de cacao, finished with a touch of vermouth and Islay malt (flamed orange optional). A bit of fine-tuning yields a remarkable result.

Good idea re. whiskey, works very well. Had to push the dilution a bit further than the initial shake: as you say when you hit the sweet spot the results are remarkable.
