One of the best known apple brandy cocktails.
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 an 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.
