Capp Rose

The Jack Rose is an unsung cocktail hero—the brilliant union of apple brandy, true grenadine (basically a reduced pomegranate syrup) and citrus. Here, we’re swapping out grenadine for Cappelletti—also bright red, also a little fruity, if not quite as sweet. Its array of herbal flavors are a perfect match for apple brandy.
