My interpretation:
0.75 oz Copper & Kings Brandy
0.75 oz Hiram Walker Creme de cacao
0.33 oz light cream
Shake well (25 seconds), strain into chilled cocktail glass, serve. — This drink, which amounts to a Brandy Alexander (as it is today commonly named), appears in the Savoy Cocktail Book in equal parts. Here the cream is reduced to accent the alcohol and bring the parts in better alignment. Adjustments of the recipe in books of the 30s and 40s tended to increased the brandy to about 3 parts to 1 part each of cream and cacao.
