My interpretation:
1.5 oz Yellow Chartreuse
0.5 tsp powdered unsweetened chocolate
0.25 tsp sugar
1 tsp warm water
1 Vital Farms egg yolk
In mixing-glass stir chocolate, sugar, and water until smooth, add egg yolk, stir until smooth, add cracked ice and chartreuse, shake 20 seconds, finely strain, and serve. — A Chocolate Cocktail without chocolate (like the Coffee Cocktail without coffee) has substantial tradition in mixed-drink history, probably for reason of appearance; cf. Jack’s Chocolate Punch, consisting of Port, curaçao, and milk. Jacques Straub in 1913 has no chocolate powder, but instead maraschino and blackberry liqueur; the Savoy, however, has both the chocolate powder and the maraschino. Jack Grohusko, for his part opts for a more on-the-nose approach with the cocktail in the JM 1916, thus forestalling potential questions by potentially confused or indignant customers, I presume.
