As someone who's started making his own cider (and now, applejack), this might have to go on my list of go-to cocktails. Cuz ive been making my own grenadine, and can easily juice a lime. So this might be the 1 cocktail i can confidently say i made from near scratch (until i eventually go completely insane and start growing my own fruits).
It always surprises me how professionally put together this show is. The slow motion close ups, excellent lighting, and awesome set, ugh it’s just awesome. Y’all need more subscribers because this is just nuts
I love you and your show! Your personality, bar set up, and music are completely authentic. Especially enjoy the Prohibition cocktails with a small dose of American history. Thank you🌻
“At five o’clock I was in the Hotel Crillon, waiting for Brett. She was not there, so I sat down and wrote some letters. They were not very good letters but I hoped their being on Crillon stationery would help them. Brett did not turn up, so about quarter to six I went down to the bar and had a Jack Rose with George the barman." Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises
i just love you, keep it up with the good work i love how you always tell the story beind the drink it makes me feel alot more in touch with you and the piece of art you are making :3
Tasty! I just mixed this up (never heard of the Jack Rose before) and I am pleased. Also, this is the first drink I've seen on HTD that I've had all the ingredients on hand!
Damn, I've watched a couple of your videos and I am enjoying your content. I don't drink tbh but I still enjoy how you make these cocktails and the trivia/history of the drink and why it's made that way. Subscribed!
I binge your video and just get thirstier as they pass. This drink look so good, me want..! Merci pour le petit mot en français. Bonjour du Canada (Thank you for the French, hello from Canada) 😏
I've always made this wonderful drink using lemon instead of lime. Looking around the web, I see a number of recipes that call for lemon or either lemon or lime. I'm going to have to try the lime variant. Thanks, I always learn something new from your videos.
love the charisma and small facts and trivia you provide while making the drink, you really ought to be a bartender, doubt you need to with how popular you've gotten on RUclips.
Actually no the old lady in the movie Titanic is the real rose from the actual Titanic. And this is her story that they are putting to screen along with some other information about how the ship actually sank that was discovered from the wreck that James Cameron was asked to come out and film and I think he was one of the funders of the project to even find it. The only thing in the movie that is complete b******* is everything to do with the blue heart diamond necklace that was never roses property she never had permission or ownership of it. The real ones that's in the Smithsonian Museum I freaking seen it. The thing she honks into the ocean at the end of the movie is a replica made for the movie. There are rumors surrounding the movie that's inside of the heart was the name of the cast and crew who would found the ship and the name of all the souls that had died on board. Along with the names of the survivors and their first born child I don't totally believe that all of that could have been written on the inside of this glass replica do I believe that at least some of it is there like especially the names of those who died yeah I would like to believe that that's what was on the heart. There's also a plaque that was attached to the wreck of the Titanic to Mark its location. The frustration everybody has with the door scene it's honestly anachronistic and is a byproduct of modern health and safety laws regarding the treatment of actors. Where the night this actually happened there's no freaking way the doors he had would have been large enough for them both. doors just weren't that big back then even for a first class Suite. If there was a large door on a ship it was usually the entrance to a ballroom for first-class passengers. Other than that every large door on the ship would have been made of metal and therefore stink.
Stumbled upon your videos and am 4 deep... This isn't the video in particular that I'm commenting on, but rather your style - I love the slow motion on the pours. It gives your videos a real style.
I like the sound of the drink, and have a sneaking feeling I will love the flavor. I need to buy some apple jack and make some grenadine. I need this in my life.
Yes! One of my favorites. I go with 2 oz applejack, 1 oz lemon juice, 0.75 oz grenadine. A bit on the sweeter side. Gonna try your way though with the lime.
you have some really great content - beautiful pours, love the music and little history tid bits. also, appreciate how you’re unconventional with your recipes. out of the box and would love to see more!
In a couple countries in Europe they actually make ice cider using the freezing method you described. It has a really unique taste and texture. Kind of like dessert wine but not over sweet garbage.
It would be awesome if you could do a chaser episode where you rate your top 10 or 5 cocktail, I really want to make all these cocktails but being a uni student I can't afford all these different spirits haha, but they all look equally soo good!
This looks/sounds delicious! I’m always onboard for a tart/citrus forward cocktail. My current favorite cocktail is a whiskey sour, so I’m guessing this will fit the bill (as long as I make your recipe for the grenadine. I fear anything off the shelf will make this far too sweet for my liking). Cheers 🥂. Have a great weekend!
That was quite informative, I didn't realize that Applejack or apple whiskey as you so aptly put it formed the core of colonial liquor imbibing. It makes me wonder how many products carrying the applejack motif or namesake take inspiration from that origin.
I make a traditional applejack named applejohn. You can freeze concentrate safely and it changes the flavor of applejack dramatically. Jack Rose is a great cocktail and even better with traditional applejack IMO.
I made my own Apple Jack the old fashioned way by freezing. Wow is that some *^$&'em up juice. Hangover heaven. In the old days they called an Apple Jack hangover "Apple Palsy", yes, it is that bad.
Sounds like a really good drink for summer 😁 Hey Greg, so is Applejack calvados that’s been barrel aged ? Seems like it has more of an apple taste than calvados does from what you describe ? You should do a video for Vieux carré, it’s delicious !
I always loved how this channel can go into cocktails and have a real passion for it while also not idolizing alcoholism or drunkenness like other channels.
There actually used to be a bar called the Jack Rose Libation House in Northern California, so named because John Steinbeck once lived not far from the site, and he was a fan of the drink. Used to, because it unfortunately recently had to close. It was as you might expect, a pretty swanky place and I hope they find a new spot to continue the tradition!
If you want to make something closer to an old-school applejack made from freeze distillation, I would boil down some apple cider to a concentrate and add it to the apple brandy. If you've ever tried "real" applejack, it's very tart and syrupy, since all the sugars and acids are left behind in the liquid as well.
I'm a youngin, didn't even know apple jacks was a thing other than a cereal. Please make more drinks with apple jack, I need to get myself a bottle ASAP.
Eight Oaks distilling, out of Philadelphia also makes an Applejack. Its actually closer to the taste of vodka, quite good. Very mild apple flavor. I like it better over ice than Laird's, but Laird's is better mixxed with sprite or ginger ale or seltzer. Laird's is basically apple brandy.
Greg, love the way this looks, headed to the liquor store to pick up some Laird’s after work! Quick question. I have some, what I I would consider moderately-sized coupes. Whenever I make your drinks that go in them (I've made almost all of them) they never fill the coup glass up all the way. Are you editing your videos to get the perfect volume? Or are you just using smaller glasses? I think a coup filled would take almost two servings of all the recipes you post. Thoughts?
Glad to see you back to proper spillage, I was getting worried that you were sick or something! LOL! By the way; chilled coupes are only good with hot dates.
I accualy learned "how to drink" in your show :D the way you act after the first sip is so great. i try to do it after i taste a cocktail from one of my friends if its good. that way they can realy see when its succeeded.
I agree with you when it comes to pronouncing “homage” (as well as liqueur, Quebec, and anything other than octopuses for the plural of octopus) and not tryna sound fancy by switching languages. Jesus said, “Let your yes be yes and your no be no.” I say, “Let your English be English and your French (Latin, Greek, etc.) be French.”
Great Drink! Love learning more about Lairds! Where are you in NJ? I live in Ocean Twn and would love to show you a drink I created and named after Double Trouble State Park in Bayville, NJ
You should try a Diamondback cocktail, if you haven’t already! Especially as it cools down.. great for the fall.. it’s a stiff one though - pretty sure the applejack in it is playing the role of sweetener, to give you a sense :P
Now I need to make this one. (And yes, I was dismayed to find that commercial "grenadine" is basically tinted high fructose corn syrup.) I think applejack is underestimated. But then, I hung out on the Mountain Man circuit, where no event was complete without comparing jugs of "Pie." Which, if you haven't encountered it, is a drink meant to taste like the best apple pie you've ever had. (And everyone keeps their recipes secret!)
Greg, I have a question. Applejack and Calvados are hard to come by in Australia and expensive when you can get it, so are there any good substitutions for this drink? Would regular brandy work with this recipe?
Fun fact: there was enough space for both Jack AND Rose on that dried lime slice.
BOOOOO
Aaron Idstein LoL
Yea myth busters say what’s up
Dude, that was the perfect comment
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room for this joke, and it's at the bottom of the Atlantic right now.

"...Do you like me?"
*barley audible whimper*
God your outros are the greatest.
i cant even. i smiled so hard when he did that.
but can I have a rye-ly audible one?
I like the lighted hole in the bar he puts the cocktail on.

Greg your videos have given my raging alcoholism a touch of class. Cheers
I made this as a punch bowl drink with homemade 20% abv hard cider in place of applejack and it turned out very well.
I get so pumped up when I get a notification for these... Happy Friday everyone
I love you and your show! Your personality, bar set up, and music are completely authentic. Especially enjoy the Prohibition cocktails with a small dose of American history. Thank you🌻
Wouldn’t be How to Drink if Greg didn’t spill half of the recipe on to the bar.
At the end of the day, if the drink you like is all over the bar, you did it right(?).
Matt Duffy
I wish I could like that more than once.
im from canada (where alcool cost a fortune) so everytime i see him spill it over the bar im always a bit mad hahahaha.
That triggers my autism everytime.
Lmao...! 😂

I'll give you something that rises
Delightful. Thank you for this new, to me, wonderful drink! You've just taught an old (65-year-old) dog a new trick!
For a moment i thought you were joking with Titanic like JACKROSE and something floating on the glass lmao :D
I should have balanced a rose on top of that lime, and put a tiny cold model railroad person at the bottom of the glass.
i just love you, keep it up with the good work i love how you always tell the story beind the drink it makes me feel alot more in touch with you and the piece of art you are making :3
Your pause take after asking if we liked you is 1 of the funniest things I've seen on RUclips and a long time.
> You shouldn't buy Rose's Grenadine
Whelp, no wonder I never liked this drink. To the pomegranate store!
Yeah that’s a bridge to potential sponsorship I don’t feel bad about burning.
Try Small Hand Foods grenadine.
There’s a link in my video description! Stop googling!
POM pomegranate juice and sugar. Lots of sugar and boiling down
@@howtodrink No, there's not. Rose's get to ya?
Tasty! I just mixed this up (never heard of the Jack Rose before) and I am pleased.
Also, this is the first drink I've seen on HTD that I've had all the ingredients on hand!
I love your show! You keep it all down to earth, simple and clean. This might be my favorite new channel.
Your style is very vintage yet so jazzy .. love it. I can see every episode you do improve a lot . Keep it up. Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸
That recipe does seem a simply sublime drink...not pretentious just enjoyable. I will try it!
Damn, I've watched a couple of your videos and I am enjoying your content. I don't drink tbh but I still enjoy how you make these cocktails and the trivia/history of the drink and why it's made that way. Subscribed!
Occasionally does the serie on non-alcoholic drinks called Soda Jerk also there are some non-alcoholic versions in some of his Harry Potter content.
Greg, you beautiful man! Friday is a favorite of mine for multipile reasons, but the main reasons is a new video from you! Thank you for everything!
Switched out the grenadine for home made blackberry syrup was just having fun with it. Definitely one of my new favorite drinks! Love the show!
I love your cinematography every shot of alcohol being poured looks amazing
Awesome cocktail. Thank you for the great video! Also lime juicve.
If you cannot find apple jack look for calvados which is the European version
Thank you, this was my question! Now I have something to make with the bottle on a whim, lol
Or if your lazy crown regal apple.
Tatsuhiro Satou does crown Apple really work for this drink ?
Which calvados ?
@@mercury187 yea crown apple works really well for it.
I could watch these forever😩❤️🍷
I binge your video and just get thirstier as they pass. This drink look so good, me want..! Merci pour le petit mot en français. Bonjour du Canada (Thank you for the French, hello from Canada) 😏

Wow I can’t believe James Cameron named the characters in the titanic after a cocktail that’s incredible
Actually no the old lady in the movie Titanic is the real rose from the actual Titanic. And this is her story that they are putting to screen along with some other information about how the ship actually sank that was discovered from the wreck that James Cameron was asked to come out and film and I think he was one of the funders of the project to even find it.

A new HTD video right after lunch? Bring it!
for me, it is always for breakfast while I "read" my morning work emails. Always inspiring me for what I want when I get home haha
Your intro ALWAYS manage to brighten up my day
i.e. my day is brightened up
This is what I'm about!
Yes! One of my favorites. I go with 2 oz applejack, 1 oz lemon juice, 0.75 oz grenadine. A bit on the sweeter side. Gonna try your way though with the lime.
"The sensation of apples in your nose"
But how would you describe it to someone who's never stuck apples in their nose? ;)
you have some really great content - beautiful pours, love the music and little history tid bits. also, appreciate how you’re unconventional with your recipes. out of the box and would love to see more!
I made this and it's amazing. My new favorite cocktail
In a couple countries in Europe they actually make ice cider using the freezing method you described. It has a really unique taste and texture. Kind of like dessert wine but not over sweet garbage.
Wow. Just made one. Really good. Love this show. Love This guy.
Holy crap, Applejack? Help bring it back, it's delicious!
Indeed!
My day just got 1000x better
just made this tonight and wow!! found a new favorite
That dried lime really set it off. Really thirst quenching I can tell. Seems very light
Def have to try. Good day, sir
Thank you!
It would be awesome if you could do a chaser episode where you rate your top 10 or 5 cocktail, I really want to make all these cocktails but being a uni student I can't afford all these different spirits haha, but they all look equally soo good!
Hey Jack, would love to see you make an Army and Navy! Had it once and haven't been able to find a bar that knows how to make it.
Hard to find any bar nowadays that have 'tenders who know how to make any drink that calls for orgeat.
Awesome idea! I will be making that soon 😃
Might just have to try this tonight with Calvados and my home made grenadine. Looks like my style of cocktail.
This looks/sounds delicious! I’m always onboard for a tart/citrus forward cocktail. My current favorite cocktail is a whiskey sour, so I’m guessing this will fit the bill (as long as I make your recipe for the grenadine. I fear anything off the shelf will make this far too sweet for my liking). Cheers 🥂. Have a great weekend!
That was quite informative, I didn't realize that Applejack or apple whiskey as you so aptly put it formed the core of colonial liquor imbibing. It makes me wonder how many products carrying the applejack motif or namesake take inspiration from that origin.
Of all the drinks I've seen you make, this one has me the most intrigued. I see why it needs a fresh home made grenadine to keep it fresh. Yummy.
Except there is no link to describe how said grenadine was made.
Thank you for introducing me to the word yeg. Never heard it before and I've always loves strange little words like that.
I just tumbled across the whisky paralyzer. I think it's a must for this channel.
First drink that I made, thanks to you! Cheers!
sweet a new drink try! Love the simple ones. I don't think I've knowingly drunk applejack before.
Can't wait to try this! Much love.
Top 3 cocktails made on this channel so far (in no particular order): Trader Vic's Mai Tai, that maple Old Fashioned, and now, the Jack Rose.
Hey man this one's really dope, i like a lot of cocktails you come up with but i really like how different this one is
Made this tonight, thanks Greg!
"I'll see ya next week with something............im just gonna finish this" i love it, great show as usual!
i love these videos and i love you. im adding drinking with you to my bucket list.
I make a traditional applejack named applejohn. You can freeze concentrate safely and it changes the flavor of applejack dramatically. Jack Rose is a great cocktail and even better with traditional applejack IMO.
When you said babbling brook I definitely had inward chuckle the way you go on and on sometimes-but in a good way
Yes finally. Been waiting on this drink since I suggested it when you made grenadine. Cheers.
I made my own Apple Jack the old fashioned way by freezing. Wow is that some *^$&'em up juice. Hangover heaven. In the old days they called an Apple Jack hangover "Apple Palsy", yes, it is that bad.
I've been making this from the "3-ingredient Happy Hour" and it has been a favorite since. I'm excited to try your way.
Sounds like a really good drink for summer 😁
Hey Greg, so is Applejack calvados that’s been barrel aged ? Seems like it has more of an apple taste than calvados does from what you describe ?
You should do a video for Vieux carré, it’s delicious !

Of course we like you Greg. You help get us drunk in a manner most classy :-).
This is an awesome episode. I love this drink.
Not much of a drinker, but love watching your vids!
If you want to make something closer to an old-school applejack made from freeze distillation, I would boil down some apple cider to a concentrate and add it to the apple brandy. If you've ever tried "real" applejack, it's very tart and syrupy, since all the sugars and acids are left behind in the liquid as well.
I see some four roses single barrel select in the background, good choice!
Oh the beautiful site of Greg sloshing the ingredients everywhere XD
I'm a youngin, didn't even know apple jacks was a thing other than a cereal. Please make more drinks with apple jack, I need to get myself a bottle ASAP.

Damn it! Now I need to hunt down that Applejack. Never had it and now I want to try it. Thanks for another great show. Cheers!
Yes, Greg. I like you.
Glad to see you back to proper spillage, I was getting worried that you were sick or something! LOL! By the way; chilled coupes are only good with hot dates.
I accualy learned "how to drink" in your show :D the way you act after the first sip is so great.
i try to do it after i taste a cocktail from one of my friends if its good.
that way they can realy see when its succeeded.
Picking apples by the Laird's Headquarters is also very fun in the fall!

Well it's 7am, I'm stuck in the office and now I want a cocktail. Thanks a lot sneaky shaker boy!
Great Drink! Love learning more about Lairds! Where are you in NJ? I live in Ocean Twn and would love to show you a drink I created and named after Double Trouble State Park in Bayville, NJ
You should try a Diamondback cocktail, if you haven’t already! Especially as it cools down.. great for the fall.. it’s a stiff one though - pretty sure the applejack in it is playing the role of sweetener, to give you a sense :P
ok, watching this video a few years late... but actually liking this bar setup more than the new one :)
It looks lovely.
I know what I'm making after work today.
I live in Normandy in France, I make this drink with Calvados ( our local apple spirits)!
It's like you knew I had a half bottle of Applejack in my cupboard that I've been scratching my head on!
These videos make me happy
Being summer in FL I really need to make this drink.
I substitute homemade raspberry syrup for the grenadine and it’s great. I believe this was a common substitution back in the day.
Never heard of this one before but I'd definitely try it! Thx for keeping em comin!
It's a good'n!
Now I need to make this one. (And yes, I was dismayed to find that commercial "grenadine" is basically tinted high fructose corn syrup.)
I think applejack is underestimated. But then, I hung out on the Mountain Man circuit, where no event was complete without comparing jugs of "Pie." Which, if you haven't encountered it, is a drink meant to taste like the best apple pie you've ever had. (And everyone keeps their recipes secret!)
Welp, I'm off to grab a bottle of Applejack. Thanks!
Looking forward to trying this one
I salivate everytime you take the first sip! lol
Greg, I have a question. Applejack and Calvados are hard to come by in Australia and expensive when you can get it, so are there any good substitutions for this drink? Would regular brandy work with this recipe?
