This pre-dates Sasha. It's based off of a century old classic that they made famous by taking it out of obscurity and putting on a menu at the John Dory Oyster Bar. Couldn't find which book had the curaçao version but I did find a few that had the grenadine Star Daisy. The NY Times article (behind a paywall) about it describes the lineage a little better (but I can't get to it now).
It's definitely on the sour side, but pleasantly so. I feel like the applejack is a bit lost so I upped it to 1 or so and it made a difference and cut the sour a tad which made it much better for me.
