The sweetness of the pear liqueur and port in this relatively simple tiki drink (named for the Chadburn telegraph) make it ideal for after dinner. If, however, you are looking for something more preprandial, Mr. Cate recommends decreasing the amount of port and pear liqueur to ¼ ounce each. That should do the trick. —Robert Simonson

There seems to be a formatting problem with the quantities given as: 1⁄2 ounce. It is easy to guess 1/2 but hard to know.

Otherwise, this looks like a very nice cocktail.

Though confusing, I think the alternate volumes refer to versions before (1.125oz) vs after a meal (2oz).

I bet is supposed to read 1-2 ounces, given the note in the recipe as to how it can be modified.
