1 oz Benedictine
1 oz Caffè Borghetti Espresso Liqueur
1 Whole Egg
Shake once without ice and once with ice, strain into a single old fashioned glass, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg (and later with freshly grated coffee bean as well).

quality versus quantity does not have to be a winner-take-all proposition.

Oh wow, that sounds like a very good combination!
Made this with Mr. Black and Treehouse Kola liqueurs and it was fantastic. I like to use a splash or two of the Cioccolate Amaro from Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod to "beef up" Averna and I bet that would work well here too
Thanks! I know folks on Reddit were asking if Mr. Black would sub in here and I said that it was more of a question of sugar content/sweetness (but that would be mitigated by Benedictine and Averna already having enough sugar). I've worked at places with rather dry coffee liqueurs (Boston Harbor Distillers) to sweet ones (Kahula) and it can effect drinks like the White Russian greatly (meaning that I need to add Demerara).
