193. Jersey Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz Daron Calvados or Laird’s Bonded Apple Brandy
  1 oz Casa Mariol Vermut Negra
  1 dash Angostura bitters

Mix with ice, strain, garnish with lemon twist, serve. — The omission of ice in this 1908 recipe is curious, since the use of ice certainly improves the drink. However, the use of Laird’s Bonded Apple Brandy (not Applejack) really provides the proper fruity element for either chilled or unchilled preparation, and is especially appropriate in view of the name, since Jersey always originally referred to Laird’s, which began in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Straub 1913 substitutes 2 dashes of syrup for the jigger of Vermouth.
 

189. Jack Rose Cocktail

 My interpretation
  1.5 oz Daron calvados
  0.25 oz raspberry syrup
  0.25 oz barspoons lemon juice
  2 barspoons orange juice
  0.25 oz lime juice

Shake with cracked ice, strain, top up with cold soda water, serve. — This famous recipe is presented here in a slightly more involved, but worthwhile, form. As with the Clover Club, Jack calls for a mixture of citruses, which may reflect firs-thand knowledge of recipes used at the Waldorf or similar bars prior to his first publication in JM 1908. Calvados furnishes a drier effect, while Laird’s Bonded Apple Brandy provides more fruity apple flavor.
