The Diamondback
from The Buildout
The Diamondback owes its name to the Maryland terrapin and not the similarly titled venomous snake. Still, plenty of folks meet this cocktail expecting a bite — and no wonder. It's stirred, complex, and can end up being an extremely boozy mix of rye, apple brandy, and Chartreuse. Joining us to explore the drink is Pennsylvania-based Patrick Jennings, the bar manager at Philadelphia’s Andra Hem.
