Review:

With its trio of Italian liqueurs, and a pour of barrel-aged grappa that's less than half the combined volume of the liqueurs, this old-fashioned alternative is a little on the sweet side, but a pleasing late-night tipple.

I reduced the recipe by a fifth (4cl Grappa, 2.5 limoncello, 1.5 Amaretto and 1.5 Galliano) and I honestly feel like it's still too big. Aside from that it actually took me by surprise. The Amaretto works fabulously with the aged Grappa, the Galliano brings some herbal complexity and the limoncello brings it all together under a citrus umbrella. It's a sweet cocktail, yes, but it all works together.

With this drink i totally left my of my comfort zone.

I was happy to find a recipe with grappa again. Otherwise... as I said... outside my comfort zone.

But! - After significantly increasing the amount of grappa, I have to say "very interesting – in a good way."
