In "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks," David A. Embury lists the Jack Rose as one of "Six Basic Cocktails." I've adjusted his recipe to make one four-and-a-half-ounce cocktail; you can play with the proportions of the lemon juice and grenadine further, to make it as tart or as sweet as you like.

It'd be nice if these recipes translated the amounts for lesser ingredients, like the grenadine, into teaspoons similar. According to what I read, 1/2 oz. of grenadine is three teaspoons.

It might help to use a shot glass for this. There isn't a truly "standard" shot, but in the US, 1 1/2 oz is the generally accepted measure (except Utah). So you can probably eyeball it on a regular shot glass (you can also get one that measures in half ounces). It won't be exact but you should be close enough to get the right flavor profile. Hope that helps.

And 3 tsp = 1/2 Tbsp, if your set of measuring spoons includes a 1/2 Tbsp (mine does).
