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.

Joining us to explore the drink is Pennsylvania-based Patrick Jennings, the bar manager at Philadelphia’s Andra Hem. Listen on (or read below) to discover Patrick's Diamondback recipe — and don't forget to like, review, and subscribe!
