The Blade Hopper
1 cup chocolate milk
1 shot Fernet Branca
Shake chocolate milk (or component parts) plus Fernet Branca with a cube of ice or two. Strain over large cube(s) in a rocks glass.
(as you might notice, I added a generous pinch of cocoa powder to ramp up the chocolate in mine and keep the sweetness from the chocolate syrup better balanced)
Rich chocolate and bitter menthol go together in a refreshing dream.
