Applejack (drink)

A bottle of blended apple brandy, along with a Jack Rose, a cocktail made with applejack

Applejack is a strong alcoholic drink produced from apples. Popular in the American colonial era, the drink's prevalence declined in the 19th and 20th centuries amid competition from other spirits.[1][2][3]

Applejack is used in several cocktails, including the Jack Rose.[1] It is a type of fruit brandy.
