- 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!
