Not that far removed from a Sazerac, this cocktail is innovative and great tasting

It's like a strange mix of a Sazerac and a Cognac OF. I'm digging it though. I thought the raisins would make it a "raisin cocktail" but they go perfectly with the cognac (as they should, I guess). The coffee liqueur is fantastic as it adds just a hint of bitter chocolate on the finish.

This is a clever number. I tried with a rather expensive Cognac and didn't regret it.

Intriguing. You could get by with less Fernet, but what sticks is definitely present, and it wields well with the bitter coffee flavor.

Is it really necessary to pour a whole oz of Fernet into the glass to coat it just to dump it out?

That's what they do in Knightsbridge but here in East London, "discard" means "open your mouth and drink".

Agreed. Does seem over the top, hence I have halved the measure in the recipe above.
