Hey, I'm Jocelyn and this is my friend Sandra and it is Friday Cocktail Day and today we're making a Jack Rose
0:07
Yeah, so this is a really great one. This is a super old classic. In the classic book, The Fine Art of Mixing Cocktails, David Ibrary calls it one of the six basic cocktails
0:20
Six? There's only six basic cocktails. according to him. And it's also mentioned
0:27
in The Sun Also Rises, so it gets a little shout-out by Hemingway
0:31
which is fun. I like literary cocktails. I'm a big fan. Yeah, there you go
0:35
And so we're going to start. I have my shaker with full ice. I'm going to take some Applejack
0:40
You can use other brandy. Let's be honest with everyone. We had
0:44
one or two of these the other night. We were doing our research, right? That's what it was
0:51
Yeah? Always do your research. right? Especially when it's cocktails. So with that, we're going to add in some lemon juice
1:00
Fresh yeast, of course, as always. How much lemon juice are you putting in? Three quarters of an ounce
1:05
which I thought was a little too much. And then half an ounce of grenadine. So this is pomegranate
1:12
based. It's going to need syrup. It's very, very sweet. So we won't need any simple syrup or other
1:17
sweetener for this cocktail. So this isn't roses kind of stuff, right? No
1:23
Did you make this? I did not. I have made grenadine. It easy I just didn Okay Because I only one of these But you know what ever eats for a grenadine I don think except for you and Charlie
1:37
Few people do and it's really fun to buy a bottle all the time
1:41
And this is simply just you don't have to be snotty about it or anything, but it is cool
1:45
Someday you can learn to make your own grenadine. We might have to do video on that sometime
1:49
Maybe we will. Look at the beautiful color of this
2:04
So pretty. And that's why it's a Jack Rose. It's that lovely rose color, huh
2:11
Exactly. Yeah. And then my pre-prepared twist. Drop that right in there
2:20
And this is my favorite part. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Y'all, I love this
2:29
It's really refreshing. It's tart, but it's not overly tart. Like you get that citrusy thing
2:37
and then it's really smoothed out by the apple and the grenadine. And I really love this cocktail
2:42
and it's not something people drink a whole lot. It's not. But they should
2:46
They should run a porch, stiff, and drink. It is, and I hope that it sees a comeback
2:51
But it really is a beautifully balanced drink between the lemon and the grenadine
2:55
And it's got that apple under taste that just is what we need. So try them on today
3:01
Absolutely. See you later. Cheers
