It is a unique cocktail. Even though I don’t have top of line Grappa like John recommended. It exceeds my expectation. I will definitely make it again.

Great cocktail. Hints of the lemon and orange with the grappa adding a nice punch to the cocktail. Key with this is to use a very good grappa - one you would drink neat or on the rocks.
