WOW - I can't believe I forgot about a Jack Rose. I had to make these en masse for a group of ladies every friday night.

3 parts applejack
2 parts lemon juice
a hit of grenadine for color

Use a chilled shaker and serve straight in a martini glass with a cherry.

This is such a good winter cocktail and something that pairs really well with fall and winter hearty meals.

KotOD,

I have not had Junipero, but really, that sounds like my kind of gin. I tend to go for strong flavors. I'll have to see if the liquor stores near me sell it.

I had to order mine online to find it. I believe I paid $35 or $40 for it. If you are familiar with Anchor Steam beer, it's from the same company. It's such a flavorful gin, very tasty.

I have to confess, but what's Pellegrino?

I ordered a Rusty Nail last night from a college bar on the U of M campus. I didn't realize they're made that stiff. I took 5 sips and had order a beer. Gross.

Maybe I'm not cut out for Scotch.

Didn't realize they were made that stiff? It's an 80 proof liquor diluted by a little bit of another 80 proof liquor and then mixed with ice.

1 1/2 oz Scotch
1/2 oz Drambuie

Served on the rocks, at least this is how it tasted. It was super stiff.
