History

Lemon juice balances this bourbon and crème de cacao-based red cocktail, perhaps best served after dinner.

This is the second of two Commodore cocktails in Albert S. Crockett's 1931 book, Old Waldorf Bar Days. Both are served frappé. Crockett's Commodore No.1 is rum-based and does not include crème de cacao liqueur. He listed the recipe for No.2 as: "One-third Lemon juice One-third Bourbon Whiskey One-third Crème de Cacao Dash Grenadine Syrup Frappé in champagne glass"
