quaker's cocktail

1/3 Brandy (1 oz Pedro Domecq Fundador Solera Reserva)
1/3 Rum (1 oz Plantation Barbados 5 Year)
1/6 Lemon Juice (1/2 oz)
1/6 Raspberry Syrup (1/2 oz)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

After the Coup de Roulis, the raspberry syrup I had been making by this recipe had cooled and was ready to use. Therefore, it was time to make the Quaker's Cocktail from Harry McElhone's 1927 Barflies and Cocktails.  I had been reminded of this drink as I was perusing the book two weeks before, and I might have made it instead of the Syncopation Cocktail that night had I not been out of raspberry syrup.
The Quaker's Cocktail displayed a brandy aroma along with caramel notes from the rum. A sweet lemon and caramel sip preceded the raspberry flavor that blended into the funky rum on the swallow. With the homemade raspberry syrup, this cocktail was surprisingly bright and delightful.
