Jack Rose

16 March 2010 · 13 Comments

There are several main theories as to the origin of the Jack Rose. The name of this famous classic cocktail associated with infamous gambler Jack Rose (Jacob Rosenzweig) or Frank J. May (aka Jack Rose) – a special policeman of the Pennsylvania Railroad or Joseph P. Rose – a Newark, NJ restaurater… Anyway, this cocktail has classic composition (and so similar to another classic brandy cocktail – the Sidecar) – main alcohol (this is rare chance to use specific apple brandy – calvados or applejack in cocktail), sweetener – grenadine and deluent – lemon or lime juice.

This cocktail has many proportions. First I tested the Jack Rose cocktail in proportions of Salvatore Maestro Calabrese. I use fresh homemade grenadine from fresh ripe pomegranate and sugar for best results.

The Jack Rose cocktail in vintage glass (Коктейль Джек Роуз в старинном бокале)

Jack Rose

50 ml applejack or calvados
20 ml fresh lemon juice
10 ml grenadine
Shake. Cocktail glass.

The Jack Rose Cocktail has pungent fruit taste with great apple-brandy notes. This is so interesting cocktail.

Also I tested the Jack Rose Cocktail in proportions from Big Seven of Anthony Hogg (Hogg`s top cocktail from “The Cocktail and Mixed Drinks” by Anthony Hogg).

The Jack Rose Cocktail in grenadine frosted glass with apple (Коктейль Джек Роуз в коктейльном бокале с сахарной каемкой на фоне яблок)

Jack Rose

45 ml calvados
20 ml fresh lemon juice
15 ml grenadine
Shake. Serve in frosted cocktail glass (with rim from sugar powder and grenadine) and garnish with lemon twist.

The Jack Rose Cocktail in this version has so sour taste with great calvados taste. This version is so smooth than above due to lemon juice instead lime. It is admirable cocktail.

Golden Dawn

This amazing cocktail was winner of ICC 1930 (London).
Nine year later Walter Madigan prepare it without calvados and
won ICC 1939.
I think now it is pure classics, symbol of magnificence of cocktail…
It has complicated taste with undertones of fruits (rape apples, dried fruits, grape,
apricots) and fabulous appearance with little summer sun in your glass.

Interesting relative post from Paul Clarke.
