From the Bartender

The Quaker's Cocktail appears in early 20th-century bar guides and is a rare example of a split-base shaken sour pairing rum and brandy as equals - neither dominates, making spirit selection critical. Use a clean, light agricole-style rum and a VS Cognac for the most balanced, historically plausible result.
