Grappa

Description:

Grappa is a supporting bar ingredient that can affect aroma, texture, appearance, or finish. Details like this may seem small, but they often make a drink feel complete. A spirit like this is usually chosen for a clear accent: herbal, smoky, anise-led, grape-based, or sugar-cane driven. It can be the base of a drink, but even a small dose can reshape the first aroma and the finish. If the ingredient is highly aromatic, test it first in a small dose or as a glass rinse. Some bottles work better as a finishing stroke than as the main base.
