1 oz Fernet Branca
1⁄2 oz Mezcal, Del Maguey Vida
1⁄2 oz Walnut Liqueur, Nocello
1⁄4 oz Agave syrup

1 Whole egg
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Shake dry then with ice. Express peel and use as garnish or discard.

Notes

Don't know what a suitable substitute for the Bittermilk would be, but I don't think Bittermens would be it.

Have also garnished with a couple cardamom pods, or even a bit of alder smoked sea salt atop the foam. Go nuts.

Delicious! Dealing with the whole egg is a bit of a pain in the ass but gives good texture/creaminess. Didn't have Nocello, so subbed with Walnut bitters.

  • 12/30/18: Made with Tanqueray, M&R, and PF dry curacao. Would like to try with 0.25 oz PF dry curaçao. I prefer this to a martini.
  • Probably better with the spec'd absinthe than my Herbsaint. Keep those dashes brief. — ★★★

brett kozinn commented on 3/20/2017:

Accidentally made it without adding the vermouth. Made it again with the vermouth, and actually prefer it without. Bright, tight, herbaceous. Split the gin between Beefeater and Botanist.

Wasabijazz commented on 11/18/2018:

Delicious by subbing cocchi americano for the dolin and creole shrubb for the cointreau. Later subbed combier for the creole shrubb, superb as well! Used martin miller westbourne strength and a barspoon for the absinthe measurement. Wonderful!!

Lamuya commented on 7/07/2021:

Less complex than other Death & Co cocktails, but I like how very bright and dry it is. Definitely its own thing too, it doesn't taste like a variation on a martini or another drink.

seanpforde commented on 2/11/2022:

Boozy, like a dry martini with some pastis notes.

  • Sherry did not add, and perhaps subtracted. Try subbing with mezcal.
  • What a nice drink! Make three extra for friends and measure ½.
  • Excellent. Made with rye by mistake. Need to try again with Bourbon. 1/8 oz is hard to measure, but a teaspoon is close enough, or make two and use 1/4 oz. — ★★★★★
