History

An adaptation of Lorenzo Antinori's Olive Oil Sour, inspired by comments shared by Simon Sedgley, a fellow Discerning Drinker. The name refers to grappa and brandy, predominantly coming from northern Italy, while olive oil is mostly made in southern Italy.

Review

If you only have unaged rather than aged grappa, then this cocktail still works well, but the olive oil influence is more amplified. This is a unique, must-try cocktail for so many reasons.

Sophistication in a Coupe. We prefer this to the Olive Oil Sour but absolutely love both.
