1
Step 1: Prepare the Milk
Pour 1 cup of whole milk into a mixing bowl and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to warm up slightly.
2
Step 2: Mix with Alcohol
In a separate container, combine the Fernet Branca, Yellow Chartreuse, Pineapple Demarara Oleo Saccharum, and fresh lime juice. Stir well to combine.
3
Step 3: Combine and Let Sit
Slowly pour the alcohol mixture into the bowl with the milk, stirring gently to combine. Allow it to sit for about 1 hour to let the milk fats coagulate.
4
Step 4: Strain
After the mixture has settled, strain it through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to separate the liquid from the solids. This will give you the clarified liquid.

5
Step 1: Chill the Glass
Fill a cocktail glass with ice water to chill while you prepare the drink.
6
Step 2: Mix the Drink
In a cocktail shaker, add the clarified liquid you prepared earlier. Add ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
7
Step 3: Serve
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass.
8
Step 4: Garnish and Enjoy
Optionally, garnish with a lime twist or a pineapple leaf for presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chef's Kiss cocktail!
