Diamond Rye Back

diamond rye back cocktail recipe

The Diamondback is one of the gems of the pre-Prohibition canon, a potent mixture of rye, applejack and herbaceous yellow Chartreuse. The Diamond Rye Back taps into the famous whiskey drink’s legacy, brightening the powerful alpine profile of green Chartreuse with dashes of sherry and crème de peche. A grapefruit twist highlights the delicate citrus character of Belvedere Vodka’s Lake Bartężek, from the Single Estate Rye series, as layer gives way to layer in this lush variation on the original.
