Brandy Rose
A Jack Rose cocktail is traditionally made with American apple brandy. This flexible recipe is lovely with grape brandy, or even premium Cognac, and stays chilled and looks dramatic poured over colourful flavoured ice.
Recipe
Try this drink at cocktail hour alongside our creamy vegan Tahini and Eggplant “Bacon” Dip, garnished with fresh pomegranate seeds.
Brandy Rose recipe by Charlene Rooke
8 oz or more of pomegranate-blend juice (such as cranberry-pomegranate) for coloured ice (optional)
3 oz brandy
2 oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 oz grenadine
Lemon twists for garnish
1. For flavoured ice, at least 1 day before serving, pour juice into moulds and freeze overnight, or until solid.
2. When ready to serve, fill a cocktail shaker with plain ice cubes then add brandy, lemon juice and grenadine, and shake for up to 30 seconds, or until the shaker is icy-cold.
3. For each drink, pour half of the mixture through a fine cocktail sieve or wire strainer into a coupe glass. Or, if using flavoured ice, place ice in the bottom of two coupe or rocks glasses and pour half of mixture through a fine cocktail sieve or metal strainer into each glass.
4. Garnish each drink with a lemon twist and serve.
