Jack Mauve
- Course: Beverage
Summary:
A variation on the classic Jack Rose, which calls for Homemade Grenadine (see recipe link). Since real, homemade grenadine will be purple rather than red, the Jack Rose in this case takes on a sort of mauve color -- but more important, this version is much tastier. The original recipe calls for applejack, but spirits columnist Jason Wilson recommends either Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy or a nice Calvados for a sublime cocktail. With Calvados, though, use slightly less grenadine, about 1/2 oz.
