Shake, up, garnish.
- Decadent and rich. Drink by a fire. IMHO, much better than most 4★ drinks on this site. (Made with Skip Rock's Nocino and normal chocolate bitters.)
- Try again with nocino.

The original recipe calls for walnut liqueur, specifically Toschi. I used Nocello in this as specified in this recipe, which is a walnut and hazelnut liqueur - the hazelnut was very dominant and did not make for a good drink. Should be changed from Nocello to Nocino to reflect a true walnut liqueur.
Curated this to conform to the cited article: Bulleit rye, Toschi walnut liqueur, MM Chocolate-chili bitters. Added date, simplified instructions. Thanks, Zach
Curated to fix broken reference link. Though LA Weekly calls for shaking, it may make more sense to stir this as Cocktail Virgin suggests.
