The Depth Bomb is December 22nd Drink of the Day!!

Here’s yet another after dinner beverage that will warm the inner most part of your soul. This brandy laden beverage combines the tasty liqueur, Applejack, and blends it with brandy, lemon and grenadine to give you a beverage that gives you the brandy flavor and sweetens it up a bit. A perfect sipper to walk around with at your next get together.

Applejack was common back in the colonial times, and is made from apples. The process to make this drink was called “jacking” where they would freeze distill it. This process is no longer used, however, but there are some good products in the market. This drink is close to the Jack Rose, but adds brandy to give you a more rounded flavor. Who can say no to a nice brandy with some more natural sweetness to bring out all of its character?

The perfect drink to introduce at your holiday party. At the end of your party, this will be a nice cocktail to end the evening on a perfect note and get you ready for a nice slumber once everyone leaves. You may just want to wait until the morning to straighten up from the festivities.
