1
| 1 1⁄2 | oz | Fernet Branca |
| 3⁄4 | oz | Coffee liqueur, St. George (NOLA) |
| 1⁄2 | oz | Crème de Cacao, Tempus Fugit |
| 1⁄4 | oz | Bitters, Scrappy's Chocolate |
| 3⁄4 | oz | Egg white |
| 1 | oz | Cream |
Instructions
Whip shake all ingredients except cream with two cubes for approximately 30 seconds. Add cream, ice and shake again for approximately 15 seconds. Strain into either a coupe (the wash line will be right up to the lip on a 6 oz coupe) or a short Collins (< 10 oz) glass. I usually don't garnish, but you could do either some bittersweet chocolate gratings or a small pinch of espresso powder.
Notes
You could also go the flip route with this (replace the egg white and 1 oz cream with a whole egg and less cream). If you want something a bit sweeter, omit or reduce the chocolate bitters. Or swap out the Fernet Branca with Menta for a Grasshopper riff.
History
I've been making Fernet milkshakes for a few years using Fernet, espresso gelato, Guinness and chocolate syrup, and wanted to come up with a similar version that doesn't require ice cream, beer or a blender.
