The Glorious Fourth

2 oz Brandy
1⁄2 oz Lime juice (Juice of one lime)
4 ds Simple syrup (Gum Syrup)
1 ds Jamaican rum
3⁄4 oz Vanilla ice cream (Calls for 1 scoop, feel free to estimate here)
Instructions

Long shake, strain into a coupe.

Notes

I used - 1/4-1/2 oz of Gum Syrup, and 1/8 oz Jamaican Rum and it was very tasty, maybe increase the Jamaican rum a bit. This cocktail is wild the lime and Ice cream seem like such an odd pairing but it's similar to an orange creamsicle with a good dose of Brandy holds it altogether similar to Benedictine's role in most of it's cocktails.

Curated this slightly - limes were a lot smaller back then, so I dropped the lime to 1/2 oz from 1. Added a link to the EUVS copy of the book. Thanks,  Zachary

Thanks Zach for the link and curation! 

No problem... that site is a treasury for cocktail geeks. It should be bookmarked by anyone who is even remotely serious about cocktails. Thanks,  Zachary

Used 1.5 oz of ice cream and the more generous 1/4 oz of demerara syrup

Would recommend a preliminary shake/strain with ice or chilling all the ingredients beforehand as the ice cream really doesn't chill things down. A quick pulse blending also helps to make a more homogeneous drink .

Overall the lime/cream mix works really well with brandy! Swapping the proportions for rum/brandy also probably would be really good as well
