"I'm going to show you how to make a Quaker's cocktail. Now, I didn't know that Quaker's like to get down and party, but, alright. We're going to start off with our ice, pour this into your glass. And, I like to rinse my ice, so that it doesn't taste funky, like something that you left in the freezer too long. So, just pour some water on your ice, strain it into the kitchen sink, and voila, tasty ice equals tasty cocktail. Alright, next up, we are going to add three fourths of an ounce of light rum, just like so. And any type of rum will do. So, just pick your favorite, and then we're going to do equal parts, so another three fourths of an ounce of brandy. And, voila! And then we're going to add the juice of about a quarter of a lemon. So, that's going to be just a squeeze of juice. And you can use "fresh", fresh squeezed if you like. But when I'm doing a cocktail party, I like to use this kind in a bottle, because I don't want to be squeezing lemons all night. I want to hang out with my friends. Alright, and then about two teaspoons of raspberry syrup. Yum, alright "y". We're going to shake this up, and we're going to pour this into a cocktail glass, with our handy dandy strainer. Alright, and there you have it. A Quaker's cocktail. Cheers."
