In his 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, David Embury says, "a Jack Rose is nothing but a Pink Apple Car", and when made with just calvados, lemon juice...
Used a combo of Bourbon and Calvados. Was a little too sour for me, but still quite delicious and nice. I also used a mix of orange juice and orange bitters, which is why I guess it was a little surprising. I also made one with just raspberry syrup and I would say I prefer that a little more.
