Alaska (Straub's 1914 recipe)
2 shared ingredients
Diamondback
🥃 Serve in: Nick and Nora Glass
100-proof rye whiskey meets calvados and Yellow Chartreuse here in equal-ish measure, cut only with a splash of chilled water. The apple brandy and herbal Chartreuse add real complexity to the rye's spice, but this remains a strong, spirit-forward drink through and through. Named for the venomous snake, it lives up to its bite. Stirred and served up, built for serious whiskey drinkers.

- Calvados0.5 oz
- Yellow Chartreuse0.5 oz
- Water0.25 oz (omit if using wet ice)
