industry flip

3/4 oz Fernet Branca (See Cynar variation below)
3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
3/4 oz Campari
3/4 oz Simple Syrup
1 Whole Egg

Shake once without ice and once with ice, strain into a single old fashioned glass or a cocktail coupe, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.Every once in a while when I have bar guests at Drink who want weird cocktails, I opt for Ted Kilgore's Industry Sour which is essentially a Fernet-Chartreuse "Daiquiri." Also in that vein is the Campari-Chartreuse Love & Murder, and I wondered if I could mash up these three elements into a Flip. Paying tribute to the inspiration, I dubbed it the Industry Flip. Here, the nose was full of woody spice, orange, and menthol aromas. Next, a creamy orange and caramel sip gave way to caramel, herbaceous, menthol, and minty flavors on the swallow. Overall, the Fernet was a bit surly, so the following night, I swapped it out for Cynar with the Cynar-Chartreuse The Drink of Laughter & Forgetting in mind.

Industry Flip #2 (Light)

• 3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
• 3/4 oz Campari
• 3/4 oz Simple Syrup
• 1 Whole Egg

The lighter version of the Industry Flip welcomed the senses with vegetal, herbaceous, and woody spice aromas. Next, a creamy caramel sip displayed a hint of orange, and the swallow donated herbaceous, orange, and vegetal flavors. Overall, this version was less of a Fernet bomb, and it let the Green Chartreuse and Campari take solid roles in the flavor profile. Moreover, it shifted things away from minty, menthol, and rather bitter to more vegetal and funky. One Instagram follower commented as to how the nutmeg garnish tied this version together.
