Jack Rose


  • Author: Maggie Weaver

Description

The Jack Rose cocktail is a fall classic!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz. Laird’s Apple Jack
  • 3/4 oz. lemon or lime juice
  • ¾ oz. grenadine
  • Lemon peel, for garnish.

Instructions

For the Grenadine:

  1. Combine two cups of pomegranate juice, two cups of sugar, and 1-2 dashes of orange flower water in a saucepan.
  2. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. When reduced, pour the syrup into an airtight container.

For the Cocktail:

  1. Combine apple brandy or Applejack, lemon or lime juice, and grenadine into a shaker.
  2. Shake with ice and strain into a coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a lemon peel and enjoy!

Notes

Note: It’s worth making grenadine at home for this recipe. The homemade syrup is much milder than its storebought counterpart.
