By the year 2000, the Jack Rose was nearly forgotten, and with decent reason: Fresh citrus was an endangered species in American bars, apple brandy was nearing extinction and good grenadine seemed a contradiction in terms. Hemingway mentions the Jack Rose twice in The Sun Also Risesin 1922, and still a generation later, David Embury, as quoted above, inducted it into his little hall of fame. There are at least six distinct and competing origin stories and a bunch of slightly different recipes, but as early as 1914 it settled into our current understanding, which is a simple sour made of apple brandy, lemon or lime juice, and pomegranate syrup (aka grenadine). There was a time, in the early 1900s, when the Jack Rose was the hottest thing around, a fantastic use of this weird new sweetener called “grenadine” that had recently hit American bars. But the Jack Rose? We can almost hear you through your screen: “What the hell is a Jack Rose?” Modern sensibilities would probably sub out the Margarita for the Sidecar, but it’s the same drink, just with tequila instead of Cognac. The Martini and Manhattan’s place on that list is indisputable, the Old Fashioned is necessary to the point of obvious, and the Daiquiri, properly made, is life changing.
I expect he had you nodding along until that last one.
