Jack Rose

Description

Jack Rose should feel intentional from the first sip, not like a random mixture poured over ice. The sour structure gives the drink its discipline: spirit for weight, citrus for energy and sweetness for shape. Apple brandy, lemon juice and grenadine should feel bright and deliberate, with the tart edge making the flavour pop rather than vanish.

The best version tastes alive, not merely acidic; it should leave a clean finish and make the next sip feel inviting.

  • 50 ml Apple Brandy
  • 20 ml lemon juice
  • 15 ml Grenadine

Instructions

  1. Shake all ingredients with ice.
