Jack Rose | How to Drink

On this episode of How to Drink, I’m taking a look at a summer cocktail that will cool off the summer heat called the Jack Rose. It’s a delightfully crisp cocktail to enjoy during the dog days of summer with a flavor that is crisp, cool, tart, apple-y. I love this drink and highly encourage it for when you feel like you can escape the heat! Hope you enjoy, cheers!

There are too few drinks that really incorporate Applejack and do it so well, so for Applejack drinks the field is a bit limited. Applejack is a apple distillate, apples are harvested, pressed into juice, fermented into cider, and distilled into spirits. After that with a bit of aging the Applejack is ready to drink. Traditionally Applejack is produced doing something called Jack Distillation or Jacking, which involved freezing the cider and pulling out the ice parts (water) to leave the alcohol behind. This is unsafe and unhealthy and strongly discouraged. No Applejack producer today uses this method. Where does the name come from? There's a story about a yeg (old timey safe cracker) by the name of Bald Jack Rose that's gone around a bit, but this seems to be an unlikely story, at least according to Wondrich. The drink makes appearances in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises and in David Embury's The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. The earliest mention of the drink in print go to 1905 where the drink was likely invented in New Jersey by Frank J May. It's not until 1913 that Bald Jack Rose makes his appearance in the headlines, actually negatively impacting sales of the drink.
