Like many of the classic cocktails on the menu at New York’s swanky revamp of the iconic Four Seasons Bar, bar director Thomas Waugh’s Jack Rose takes a standard recipe and supercharges it with multiple layers of flavor, in this case by using both applejack and Calvados. According to PUNCH Contributing Editor Robert Simonson, “It would be fair to call it the best Jack Rose in town.”
