This cocktail is not a Jack Rose. It isn't even a Rose by another name. It is the one and only, fully alliterative Ricard Rose. The fun thing about this drink besides the interesting combination of Ricard, an anise and licorice Pastis, with cranberry juice, is the addition of a lot of dark rum. For this cocktail I used my own black rum that is made with molasses and a blend of aged and overproof lightly aged rums.
- 3/4 oz. Ricard
- 1 1/2 oz. dark rum (aged molasses-based rum recommended)
- 4 oz. cranberry juice
Fill a wine goblet or large balloon stemmed glass with crushed ice*. Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake to chill and strain into the wine goblet.
*Note--Try this cocktail might work equally well blended until smooth and poured directly into a wine glass.
