    parts is an arbitrary unit of measurement. Anything can be considered a "part." from a toothpaste tube cap, to a gallon. If you use a cup for a "part", then for this recipe you use 2 cup cognac, 1 cup cacao, 1 cup cream. Or you could use 2 liters cognac, 1 liter cacao, 1 liter cream. Whatever unit size you use for one part of the recipe, you use for the others. That way the proportions will remain the same.

      I hope you found your answer in the last 10 years but if not, a part is just telling you the ratio, it could be any amount but it's typically 30 mills

    you need a good cognac and crem de cacao for this to be perfect, and also, the glasses must be kept chilled too.. tge right quantities make this a perfect drink, too much brandy and the sweetness is taken off, too little and it tastes like milkshake.. takes an experienced bartender to make this drink really really good, but, when its made right, damn its so good!
