Unusual name for a rich cocktail that can take the place of dessert
From The Craft of the Cocktail by Dale DeGroff
This is not a shaken drink but a layered one with the egg white beaten stiff on top and the unbroken egg yolk in the middle taken in a 4 step process. Dates back to Leo Engel in 1878 and makes for a great hazing/group bonding experience when done as in the link and not like a Flip:

Is it Knickerbein as above or Knickebein (no 'r') as in Fred's link?
I've seen it spelled that way too. The OG is a German word that got mis-transcribed a lot (like in Harry Johnson and books that sourced those books). Not only was the name not written correctly, the 4 step procedure and how to build it were also lost in the game of recipe telephone. I didn't have room in my Oxford Companion of Cocktails and Spirits to talk about the drink going awry over time as the details were shed or mutated in newer books, but it erroneously ended up in the same build style as the Angel's Tit or as a Flip.
Shockingly balanced.. despite my concerns. The black cardamon is a very strong / long evolving smoke and really does something nice with the hardcore bitter bomb of campari on the early palate and the orange liqueur (I used Pierre Ferrand Curacao) links them so it has a really nice long evolution and finish. I'm not 100% sure I'm even getting much overt rye though suspect it may be holding up the other flavors / adding a little fullness.
