Diamondback Cocktail
The Diamondback is a sophisticated cocktail that beautifully marries the boldness of rye whiskey with the sweet and fruity notes of apple brandy, all rounded out by the herbal complexity of Yellow Chartreuse. This drink not only tantalizes the taste buds but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of American cocktails dating back to the Prohibition era, when innovative spirits were crafted to mask the rough edges of homemade liquors. With its vibrant flavors, the Diamondback is perfect for sipping on a crisp evening or serving at a classy gathering.
