History:

Adapted from a recipe created by Solon Liakos at Grappa Vino & Aperitivo in Volos, Greece, this was one of ten winning recipes in the 2021 O/Purist Quest. Solon says, "The inspiration for this cocktail comes from my love for tsipouro and obviously for my love for Tiki cocktails. As the O/Purist Tsipouro combines flavours and aromas, so do Tiki cocktails and I had to find a way to combine these two together as one. Through this combination, we have in our glass the "Around the world" a cocktail that has Greek culture in it but also encapsulates Tiki cocktail culture."

Can anybody explain to me the difference in terms of flavour between Tsipouro and Grappa? Because I used Grappa and whilst it was certainly interesting and balanced I also felt that the grape spirit was taking over. It was good, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't great. Is Tsipouro more like Peruvian pisco in that it has a lighter, more floral and delicate notes? Because I can certainly tell the difference between Grappa and Peruvian Pisco in that respect.

With Italian Grappa I can say that the drink was good but not great. The destillate took over a bit too much whereas the other ingredients stayed in the background. It was still a good, long way of drinking Grappa. It felt like a tropical drink with the juices and Ango spice. 4/5.

Tsipouro is much closer to grappa than pisco.
