The Jersey is a drink from the days before Prohibition when its key ingredient was more prevalent. Apple whiskey is not as commonly produced today, though it is being produced by Leopold Bros. in New York and you can order it online. The other option you have to enjoy this easy drink of old is to infuse your own whiskey - I'd suggest a smooth Canadian or light American whisky - with cut apple like this apple-pear infusion video demonstrates.
The Jersey is a simple, refreshing short drink that is worth the hunt for apple whiskey.
