Discover the Dempsey, a Prohibition-era cocktail loved by Jack Dempsey. This drink balances apple brandy's sweetness with gin, grenadine, and a hint of absinthe. It's a potent, boozy, yet surprisingly approachable vintage cocktail.

Dempsey: In Mixing Glass add 1.5 oz Apple Jack, .5 oz. Gin, 1 Bar Spoon Grenadine. Crack ice into mixing glass and stir. Top with a spritz of Absinth. Garnish with a Maraschino Cheery.
