The Jack Rose has many plausible origins, with. Of these various libations, one drink stood out as somewhat of an unknown quantity. Applejack is one of the most versatile and valuable spirits youve never tried. For now, though, in summer, with the Fourth of July past us, and feeling an acute need for America to be great once again (if the Founding Fathers were to wake up in Washington, DC, today, I think they'd never stop throwing up), I'm going to do a couple more cocktails with applejack, a brandy with a distinct sweetness, made from apple cider that has been fermented, distilled, and barrel aged. From the Fines à l’eau (cognac and water), to the whiskey (with or without soda), via the Pernod and the wine, Jake Barnes and his band of lost souls drink their way through all that mid-1920s Paris had to offer. And he's so eager to talk and write about it, he's deserving of a broader post. What I love most is that Tom is doing this because he has to or, rather, he can't stop himself. The Applejack Rabbit first appeared in Judge Jr.’s obscure 1927 tome, Here’s How, but it gained momentum in the mid-aughts thanks to Jim Meehan.At the time, the lauded bartender best known for his work at PDT in New York was behind the stick at Gramercy Tavern. The distillery is called Tom's Foolery, started by Tom Herbruck, who, with his wife, Lianne, and their kids, make some exquisite applejack, America's first commercial spirit, and likely the common drink in the new colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries. Just over the edge into the next county, Geauga, off the road a bit, so removed we passed the drive and had to circle back, is a house, a small distillery, and a barn filled with barrels. It also has a hint of vanilla that goes well with the apple cider. Bourbon is another great option because of its sweet and smoky flavor. This is where my friend wanted to take me. Brandy is a great choice for apple cider because it has a sweet and spicy flavor that pairs well with the apple flavor. Head out of town, south, and you're quickly passing farmland. Combine Laird’s Applejack, lemon juice, simple syrup, and grenadine in a shaker, and strain into a coupe before topping with Champagne. Add flour alternately with vanilla and applejack in thirds, beating until smooth after each addition. Add yolks one at a time, mixing well each time. Squeeze/twist orange peel over the drink to extract oils, rub peel around the rim of the glass, and add to the cocktail. Steps: Cream butter & 2 cups sugar til light and fluffy. Strain into an old-fashioned glass over a giant ice cube. Fill glass halfway with ice, then stir vigorously about a dozen times. (Could a novelist invent a more unlikely name for a town?) It's semi-rural and on the edge of rural, a quaint town with an actual falls, a candy shop, and Jeni's Ice Cream. In a mixing glass, combine maple syrup, bitters, and brandy. Earlier this summer, I met a friend out in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
