Am I missing a simple way to draft a circular surface?

Screenshot 2020-09-24 192303.png

I have a body that's made of two coaxial cylinders, sharing the same base - a short, wide one and a thin, tall one. 

 

I want to draft (?) the visible part of the top of the short cylinder so it's at an angle, not perpendicular, to the side of the tall cylinder. It would be similar to adding a short cone (of the same radius) on top of the short cylinder.

 

I can think of a way to do this by lofting, but maybe there's a more straight-forward way?

See Attached.

I took it all the way to the edge, but of course you could shorten one edge in the sketch.

A two direction chamfer would be the easiest method.

Didn't know about this flavour of chamfer. I like it!
