The Brendan Wheatley

My cocktail
Really its just a Cynar flip with Uni, but if you're using Uni in a cocktail then quail eggs naturally make sense.  I came up with this when I thought to myself "nothing has a longer finish than Cynar". That is until I thought of Uni.  It's funny really I love both Uni and Cynar Flips at the end of a meal dessert for me.
1-2 tongues of fresh Uni pressed through a screen to remove the strings and then broken up with bar spoon in shaker
2 oz Cynar
2-3 quail eggs based on size or one chicken egg in a pinch
Shake the ingredients without ice in the shaker to integrate, then fill shaker with ice and shake the shit out of it.
Pour through strainer into juice glass up.
The irony of this cocktail is that I came up with it while in a land locked state.
