Over view

In his new book, Robert Simonson calls the Jack Rose “one of the best known of the apple brandy cocktails,” citing this recipe from Boston bartender Jackson Cannon as a exceptional version of the drink. The debate on lime juice versus lemon wages on, but in Cannon’s iteration from Eastern Standard, he chooses lemon for delicious results.

quote from: [LIQUID CULTURE imbibe]

It turns pink or red when it was shaken. It tastes sour and sweet, and it belongs to a short cocktail.

In Autumn or winter, a grenadine is used as the ingredient of jack rose come into season. So, some bars will be selling it. 🙂

The taste has sweet of grenadine or grenadine syrup and the sour of lime juice and so. these have balanced taste.
Also, this cocktail is the taste liked by everyone though you may think it is for women because the color is pink or red.

For example, you try to drink it if you won’t drink dessert cocktail or refreshing cocktail with soda.

Personal episode

this cocktail is one of the best cocktail I think.
I could drink it every day because I like this very much. 🙂
My photo was all of [jackrose] when I saw some photo of the iPhone. 🙂

I often order this after I drunk refreshing cocktail like [Gin Tonic] or [Gin Ricky].

Also, The brand of some ingredients is different depending on some bars. It’s interesting!! 🙂

For example, strong sour, used fresh grenadine, used grenadine fresh and syrup and so.
In short, there are various types of taste. 🙂
So, there are various types of taste by the bar and it may be interesting to compare the taste.

I knew the brandy called “Calvados” when I knew some ingredients used [Jackrose]

Maybe I like calvados. So, I’m studing calvados at present. 🙂
