Cocktail

2 oz brandy (cognac or your preferred brandy)3/4 oz Averna Amaro1 oz fresh orange juice1/2 oz sweetened condensed milk1/2 oz chocolate liqueur (or good quality crème de cacao)1 piece orange twist6 cubes ice (for shaking and serving)

Garnish & Optional

1 tsp grated dark chocolate or chocolate shavings1 slice orange wheel (optional)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you build the cocktail.

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add ice (about 6 cubes), 2 oz brandy, 0.75 oz Averna Amaro, 1 oz fresh orange juice, 0.5 oz sweetened condensed milk, and 0.5 oz chocolate liqueur.

Dry shake (optional)

For a silkier texture with the condensed milk, give the mixture a quick dry shake (no ice) for about 10 seconds to emulsify.

Shake with ice

Add ice to the shaker (if you dry-shook) and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

Strain

Discard ice or water from the chilled glass and double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove any tiny ice shards and to keep the texture smooth.

Garnish and finish

Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink and rub it on the rim, then drop it into the glass. Sprinkle about 1 tsp grated dark chocolate or a few shavings on top and, if desired, rest an orange wheel on the rim.
