The Diamondback cocktail originated in a Baltimore hotel. My version features a mix of rye whiskey, apple brandy, and Faccia Brutto Centerbe. Despite initial doubts, I grew to appreciate the drink, it improved when very chilled.

The Last Word Cocktail
I struggled to find green Chartreuse, but Faccia Brutto Centerbe worked great for The Last Word cocktail. This drink also has gin, lime juice, and maraschino liqueur, adjusting the gin for added potency. A fun mix!
The Bijou Cocktail
The Bijou cocktail, originating in the 1890s, combines gin, sweet vermouth, and Chartreuse. A modern twist uses more gin and adds orange bitters. This complex drink is recommended, and it can be made with a substitute, Faccia Brutto Centerbe.
