the first 5 are familiar, but i've never heard of a jack rose or of applejack. if you order this at a bar are they likely to have it? do liquor stores carry applejack?

Here's a nice Washington Post article that goes into the history a little and then two guys' quest to order one at a bar in DC.
I tried making one with cheap applejack and it sucked. I'd like to try again someday using a decent apple brandy but it's tough to find around here.
