A hot beverage made with chocolate or cocoa powder, consumed during the fall. Make the good stuff with milk instead of water!
Fill a cocktail glass that can take heat with hot water to warm it. Add the Chartreuse, Fernet, and hot chocolate to a small saucepan and warm until a simmer. Discard the water in the glass and pour in the mixture. For the garnish, combine the syrup, bitters and cream in a shaker tin. Shake without ice until the cream thickens but is still loose enough to pour. Float the Angostura cream atop the drink. #straight #hot
