BTW, did you know that there's a classic cocktail (popular in the 1920s) called Jack Rose?
Officially, the name probably derives from the fact that ingredients include appleJack and it's rose-colored from grenadine.
When Ian ordered one at a bar the other night, I cracked him up by pointing out it's not only a drink, it's canonical het. He asked if it shouldn't be more properly called a "Doctor Jack Rose" and I replied that it originally was, but just got shortened for menus...
