Jack Rose
Description
Jack Rose is a beautiful rose-colored classic cocktail based on apple brandy. Born in early 1900s New York, it's one of the historic cocktails that survived Prohibition. The name comes from the 'Jack' in applejack (the base spirit) and the beautiful rose color created by grenadine syrup. Featured in Hemingway's novels and beloved by many writers and Hollywood stars, it perfectly balances the rich apple aroma with lime acidity and grenadine sweetness, making it popular among women for its approachability.
