the early 1900s, Baldy Jack Rose.
Whoever bequeathed his name
to the drink, the Jack Rose is a
Jersey cocktail; Laird's, the major
Applejack producer here in the
U.S., has been making tasty apple
brandy in the Garden State since
the 1780s. One thing we do know
about the Jack Rose, it's hard to
have just one.

MANHATTAN
As American as the proverbial
apple pie, a stroke of genius
blessed us with the Manhattan
sometime during the latter half
of the 19th century. According
to popular myth, this classic was
invented for a gala hosted by
Jennie Jerome, Lady Randolph

Churchill, mother to one-day
Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
It's a tall tale which has since been
debunked. A more plausible theory
has the Manhattan's origins
somewhere along Broadway
and Houston during the 1860s.
Regardless of the who, when and
where, most folks agree that the
Manhattan is one of the greatest
of the greats, the grand poobah of
the cocktail world. While bourbon
or Canadian whisky are sometimes
used, the best Manhattans are
made the traditional way-with
good old American rye.

NEGRONI
The party is in full swing, but
you're still debating what your first

beverage should be. Try a Negroni,
made with gin, sweet vermouth
and Campari bitters. This fantastic
aperitif cocktail is just the ticket
to season your palate for a hearty
holiday meal. The Negroni has
recently enjoyed a popular revival,
with a whole week dedicated to
it each year in bars around the
country. Its origins lie across the
Atlantic; the Negroni is thought to
hail from Italy. Legend has it Count
Camillo Negroni was responsible
for its creation, challenging his
local bartender to improve upon
his tipple of choice, the Americano.
Orson Welles was a fan, writing,
"The bitters are excellent for your
liver, the gin is bad for you. They
balance each other." And balanced
the Negroni is.
