Applejack: Part of a Balanced Breakfast?

Did you know that Colonial Americans loved Applejack for breakfast? No, not the sugary, sweet Kellogg's cereal, but Applejack, the apple brandy that was one of America's first distilled spirits. Back in the day, Applejack served as a popular drink, a form of currency, and apparently part of a deliciously balanced breakfast. Just roast some porridge over the fire and then pour Applejack over the top. No need for milk! Applejack was safer to drink than water and tasted better, too. Plus, Applejack scored major bonus points because it was very easy to make at home. Simply leave barrels of hard cider outside to freeze, then "jack" it by periodically removing the ice. This left behind the unfrozen, high-octane, and excellent tasing alcohol.


So, what's the best way to enjoy Applejack these days? We recommend that you skip the porridge. Try sipping it straight up, over ice, or mixed in your favorite cocktail. Maybe an Applejack Old Fashioned? A Jack Rose martini? Lumberjack Sour? Whatever you do, start out with Barley Creek's craft-made, 100-proof, 2024 Applejack. It's oak-aged, made with local apples, and has an exceptionally smooth finish. Available now at Barley Creek's main restaurant, the Taproom, or online (online delivery is available to PA and Washington, DC only at this time). This is a limited release, so get yours before it's all gone!

Applejack as a breakfast staple really puts today’s cereal aisle to shame. I love the idea of using old-school freeze-jacking to make something that actually tastes good and won’t kill you like their water could. The Barley Creek 2024 release sounds tempting… might have to grab a bottle and chill with some Geometry Dash Lite between sips. Nothing like some 100-proof motivation to finally pass Stereo Madness!

I really enjoyed reading this article about Applejack and its place in a balanced breakfast. It’s interesting to see how certain brands manage to stay relevant over time. When it comes to business growth, having a strong marketing strategy consulting approach can make all the difference in connecting with the right audience. Understanding your customers and tailoring your message is key. Articles like this remind me how important it is to balance tradition with innovation, whether in food or in business. Thanks for sharing these insights!
