Chocolaty bourbon with a freshening herbal blast of Fernet Branca, smoothed by sipping through a Chartreuse cream head. Like meeting the devil hidden beneath...

I’ve been eyeing this cocktail for a Haar & finally got a bottle of Fernet Branca to try it. Delicious. The cream really cuts the intensity.

My execution of the dry shake and topping of the cream mix was personally disappointing but the flavor was good. We enjoyed an after dinner drink. Ginger seasoned lamb lion chops with mushroom infused beef broth rice.

Outstanding digestive. Layered perfectly using a barspoon and pouring slowly. Did the drink with a long stir, so no ice was needed in the glass. With the cream/Chartreuse mixture on the top you do not realize the amount of alcohole in the cocktail. Perfect after a New Orleans Creole Salmon dinner.

Es un cóctel fuerte, no lo recomiendo a personas que están acostumbradas a los cócteles dulces que hacen ahora, pero si te gustan los clásicos fuertes y con ligero sabor a menta herbal, éste es el indicado.

I like the combo here, except the dairy part, IDK, never liked dairy cocktails. I will try it today without it and maybe adjust the specs a little...has anyone else tried it without the cream? Thank you for this site!

Yes, it was definitely a boozy doozy :OP I didn't think about making it on the rocks, will try it again. Also, do you have a Patreon? I know I could support our site via the sponsored product links, but as I spend half my time in protectionist Switzerland, often I'm unable to purchase from the sites proposed, or the shipping is outrageous + customs tarifs booo. Thank you!

Just tried your 60 Bourbon, 30 Dark cacao, 15 Averna and 15 Green Chartreuse version. Certainty is boozy! I think better served on-the-rocks rather than straight-up. Tasty.

Does seem to separate out again if you give it a minute.

This cocktail packs a lot of booze and will put you right to bed, but the combination sure is interesting! I had hot chocolate with Chartreuse at mountain resorts before, but the minty taste of Fernet makes this one more like an Alpine After Eight. I should try swapping Fernet with crème de menthe for a cleaner, less bitter mint taste.
Absolutely stunning!
