Why is it called "Jack Rose"?
There are a couple of theories behind the name, firstly that the cocktail is a similar colour to a Jaquemont rose and uses apple "jack", secondly that it was named after a gangster called Jack Rose who turned states evidence in a notorious Manhatten murder case, the 1912 gangland slaying of a gambling house operator named Herman Rosenthal.
