Chocolaty bourbon with a freshening herbal blast of Fernet Branca, smoothed by sipping through a Chartreuse cream head. Like meeting the devil hidden beneath...
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.
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.
The trick is to pour the layer down a flat-ended Bonzer-style bar spoon then your layers should be clearly defined. I've just made with 15ml Green Chartreuse and 30ml single cream shaken with ice and then dry shaken for layer and this will relace the above in the morning. Night night!
Usually have mostly the same problem but after resting for a few minutes the two layers kind of separated, albeit not as cleanly as on the cocktail picture.
