The Quaker’s Cocktail is a difficult but also underrated drink. It needs the right rum-cognac combination to realise its full potential.
30 ml Hinton Rum 6 years 30 ml Park XO cognac 15 ml D’Arbo raspberry syrup 15 ml lemon juice
Preparation: Shaken.
There are drinks that accompany you for a long time. Drinks that keep you busy because you know they are good, but you just haven’t understood or mixed them properly yet. For us, the Quaker’s Cocktail is one of these drinks.
We had difficulty understanding why rum and cognac should be mixed together. The result had never really convinced us. But then it came, that one moment when we suddenly understood how this drink was meant. We have Jörg Meyer from Le Lion in Hamburg to thank for it. There, on 12 April 2015, we had the pleasure of tasting a twelve-year-old El Dorado rum with an El Dorado from 1982 that was comparable in age. Jörg had bought a bottle and offered this comparative drinking. Until that moment, we had thought that the current El Dorado was quite a respectable rum. But – the producer may forgive us at this point – the difference was startling for us. The bottling from the 80s was unsweetened, wonderfully aromatic, multi-layered. It immediately reminded us of a good cognac. Not because it tasted like cognac, but because it literally demanded to be married with a cognac. The aromas just lent themselves to it. So this was the long sought-after key to the Quaker’s Cocktail. The sweetened, “new” El Dorado, on the other hand, simply tasted sweet, somewhat uninspired and flat.
We do not want to start the discussion about sweetened rums at this point. Those who like them – and there are many of them, as can be seen from the sales figures – should drink them. The producers should just be a little more transparent in the declaration of their additives.
We bring this anecdote to your attention here because it gave us an understanding of this drink. So the rum had to be matured, unsweetened, complex. It had to be aromatically compatible with cognac. We had already tried many matured rums and none of them suited this drink. So we thought that we should have a look at a Rhum Agricole, because it is more French-inspired and could therefore go better with a Cognac – or so we thought. Well, we found what we were looking for in the twelve-year-old Trois Rivières. It goes wonderfully with a good cognac.
In the meantime, we were able to bring about a further improvement by using the six-year-old Hinton Rum from Madeira instead.
In the historical context, the question arises as to how to classify the Quaker’s Cocktail. It is not a classic cocktail, because it lacks bitters. Rather, it is closely related to the punch. As evidence and example of this, we have found, for example, a recipe for a Brandy Punch from 1909 found in Jacob A. Didier: [5]
Brandy Punch. Jacob A. Didier. 1909.
Use a punch glass. 4 or 5 dashes of lemon juice. 1 spoonful of sugar. 1 dash of raspberry syrup. Fill glass with fine ice. 1 drink of brandy. 1 dash of Jamaica rum. Stir or shake well, dress with fruit in season, and serve with straws.
The same ingredients are used in this punch as in a Quaker’s cocktail, although in completely different proportions, so that one cannot speak of equality here. There is also a relationship with the “English Punch”, which Edward Spencer wrote about in 1899: “English Punch,” says a writer of our own time, “is, as regards thespirit, mostly of two kinds — brandy and rum, mixed in proportions which must be left to taste. The rum generally predominates. The acid is nearly always lemon juice. The spice is nearly always lemon-peel, but sometimes tea-leaf”. — now marry come up! — ” sometimes nutmeg; and as for the sugar and the water they explain them selves.”[4] The Quaker’s Cocktail basically corresponds to this definition: rum and cognac, lemon juice, sugar in the form of raspberry syrup and water. Lemon zest, tea or nutmeg are omitted, of course.
Another example can be found in Albert Barnes’ book The Complete Bartender on page 9:
St. Croix Rum Punch. Albert Barnes. 1884.
Use large bar glass. 1 table spoonful of sugar, juice half of a lemon, 1 wine glass of St Croix Rum, 1 tea spoon full of raspberry syrup, 1/2 wine glass of Jamaica Rum, fill with cracked ice, shake well and ornament with fruits in season, serve with straws.
The Quaker’s Cocktail is a relatively young drink. It was first published in 1923 by Harry McElhone, in “”Harry” of Giro’s ABC of Mixing Cocktails”, published in London, and at a time when Harry McElhone was still a bartender in London.
It appears again and again, with an unchanged recipe. In 1929, 1934, 1948 a “Pirate” is published, but with slightly different proportions, with more raspberry syrup and less lemon juice.
Trader Vic then uses the same ratios in Quaker’s Cocktail in 1948, alternatively using lime juice, and Harry Schraemli follows Trader Vic a year later. In the following years, there are other publications that no longer follow the original quantity ratio or suggest further variations, such as Stan Jones’ use of orange juice in 1977.
Where it got its name from, we do not know. Harry McElhone’s book “Barflies and Cocktails” from 1927 suggests that it was named after the Quakers, because one is pictured there. However, since Quakers emphasise moral behaviour, including abstaining from alcohol, [1] this illustration is probably more ironic. The word Quaker was an early derisive name used for members of the Religious Society of Friends, the formal name of the Quaker organisation. [2] The term first appeared in 1650, referring to the statement of the Quakers’ founding father, George Fox, who exhorted his co-religionists to tremble at the words of God. [3] But perhaps the Quaker depicted in the drawing is trembling because he dreads the idea of having to drink a Quaker’s cocktail.
