Jack Rose

Jack Rose is an American cocktail made with a combination of applejack, grenadine, and either lime or lemon juice. In order to prepare it, all ingredients are typically shaken, poured into a chilled glass, and garnished with a cherry and an apple slice.

The word Jack in its name refers to the main ingredient, applejack, while Rose refers to its color, which is a result of grenadine being added to the combination. There are various theories about this drink’s origins, and the most common one says it was invented in the 20th century and named after the notorious murderer and gambler, Bald Jack Rose.
