I enjoyed this cocktail! I tweak it a bit though. I used 2.5 oz. applejack instead of 2 oz. It’s very refreshing…

Interesting idea about making one’s own grenadine, but I use so little of it that I’m not sure it would make sense for me. The Stirrings product is actually made from pomegranates and is not as sweet as Roses or other grenadines.Thanks for sharing this.

From a 1910 printing of “Jack’s Manual”

JACK ROSE

1 tsp Sugar
10 Dashes Raspberry Syrup
10 Dashes Lemon Juice
5 Dashes Orange Juice
Juice of 1/2 Lime
75% Cider Brandy (2 1/4oz)

Fill glass with cracked ice, shake and strain. Fill with fizz water and serve (highball glass I assume)

I like your ratios. I use 3/4 oz of lemon juice and 3/4 oz of Stirrings Authentic Grenadine. The Stirrings product is actually made from pomegranates and is not as sweet as Roses or other grenadines. For this reason, you have to use more to counter the lemon juice, but the reward is a more substantial taste and less of the neon red color.

I tried this drink over the weekend. Very nice. Got to try the rye variation as well.

I just tried the variation with rye, and was very impressed … wouldn’t have thought of that. Thanks.

NATIONAL POLICE GAZETTE, 22nd April 1905

Frank J. May, better known as Jack Rose, is the inventor of a very popular cocktail by that name, which has made him famous as a mixologist. He is at present looking after the managerial affairs of Gene Sullivan’s Cafe, at 187 Pavonia avenue, Jersey City, N. J., one of the most popular resorts in that city. Mr. May takes an active interest in sports, and as a wrestler could give many of the professional wrestlers a warm argument.
