Pink Squirrel

Not so easy to source Creme de Noyaux, but I've read in a couple of places that Amaretto Disarrono can sub. But then it is kind of a Brown Squirrel rather than a Pink one. Here's my take on it: https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/39738/marmotini

This is basically the same formula as a Friar Tuck, and I guess there must be a whole class of creamy cocktails like this. One could have fun naming them:
cream + creme de cacao + Liquor 43 = Golden Squirrel
cream + creme de cacao + creme de bananes = Squirrel Monkey
cream + creme de cacao + nux alpina - Squirrel Nutkin
Any others that come to mind?

Really very surprisingly good. My son made me try this in a local bar. The bartender almost fell off her stool when we ordered this cocktail with Fernet Branca, and was even more surprised when we not only didn't curl up and die after drinking it, but actually ordered another one!

Actually this inspired me to do a riff on it, which you can see here:

This also works with Boomsma Clearkampster Cloosterbitter instead of Green Chartreuse and Tempus Fugit Gran Classico Bitter instead of Campari. The result is a bit sweeter and softer, but still well-balanced.
