Ladybird

1 oz brandy
1 1/2 oz creme de cassis
1 oz half-and-half
1/4 tsp chocolate powder

Fill a cocktail shaker half with ice cubes. Add brandy, cassis and half-and-half. Shake vigorously. Strain into chilled cocktail glass, serve straight-up. Garnish with chocolate powder (try to create dots, like on a ladybird beetle for effect).
