📜 History

The Wild Irish Rose first appeared in print in George R. Washburnes 1911 Beverages De Luxe, attributed to Samuel Foote of the Auditorium Hotel in Chicago. This Hibernian cousin to the Jack Rose swaps applejack for Irish whiskey while maintaining the signature grenadine sweetness. The drink also appeared as the Wild Eyed Rose in Hugo Ensslin in the 1916 Recipes for Mixed Drinks. The beautiful rosy color comes from quality pomegranate grenadine.
