2 oz Averna
1 oz stout
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 whole egg
nutmeg, for garnish
Shake all ingredients vigorously with ice and strain into a wine glass. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg. For the beer, choose a stout with a smooth, rich mouthfeel. St. Peter’s Cream Stout is perfect here; Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout and Young’s Double Chocolate Stout are also good.
