Pro Tips

📖 Hemingway's Favorite

Featured in "The Sun Also Rises" – Jake Barnes orders one at the bar. The name may come from the jacquerose variety of apple, or from a New York gangster named Bald Jack Rose.

🍎 Applejack vs. Calvados

American applejack (like Laird's) is traditional, but French Calvados creates a more refined version. Both work beautifully – try each!
