Jackson Cannon's Jack Rose
If you’ve never tried apple brandy, fall is the perfect time, though Jackson Cannon’s Jack Rose is delicious any time of year. Be sure to use Applejack, a potent American spirit that dates back to Colonial times, and not another apple brandy. Blended with perfect proportions of fresh lemon juice and homemade grenadine, it makes a lovely cocktail. For a full trio of 3-ingredient cocktails, take a look at the Obituary Cocktail and the Gold Rush cocktail too.

Directions
Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until chilled, about 5 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe.
Combine the pomegranate juice and sugar in a saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Stir frequently and bring to just under a boil. Reduce the heat to just under a simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes.
When the syrup has darkened and is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, it’s ready. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
Add the orange blossom water and stir. Label, date, and refrigerate. It keeps for 4 weeks.
