  • Like a chocolate-mint egg cream. — ★★★★
  • Really nice, but omit soda. Try with Berchrovka groves instead of Chartreus

I was afraid this would be a horrific experience that might forever repel me from two of my best loves, fernet and Chartreuse. To the contrary, it was an astonishing delight! Not one of the greatest cocktails I've ever had, but definitely "damn tasty." I dare say the cocoa-fernet-Chartreuse combination is ingenious, and the egg white gives it great body. Thanks for posting!


This is Chris Kiel's cocktail, in case anyone wants to update the reference. He has not made me a cocktail that I haven't loved...

Thanks for the attribution info. Updated. Also tweaked the ingredients to correspond to the instructions.

Really a dessert drink. Too sweet as written for before dinner. I don't know how much 3 dashes of cocoa powder is, so I used 1/2 tsp. The drink has an interesting balance between the herbal, bitter, mint/menthol, and chocolate.

Made it without the soda. A lovely Friday nightcap! Nice treat, thanks
