As the name suggests, a sour laced with characterful grappa, flavoured with rich ripe strawberry. Dry and complex rather than sweet and one-dimensional.

This is such a generous recipe in its wonderful simplicity. We accepted its invitation to experiment. The original, with Grappa, is beautifully boldly assertive. With Pisco, the flavour profile is similar but way more subtly elegant. With Calvados it's a fruity delight. With Greek Spirit there are lovely sweet notes to complement the Creme. And with Cognac well, as always, there is posh refinement. btw we did this over a couple of nights so no morning after aspirin was needed. We might try it with some whiskeys another time.

Question for our generous host: what is the history and who is the creator?

No strawberry liqueur. Fresh Strawberries are coming in the season. Mashed 3-4 big ripe strawberries to get about 1 oz juice, 1/6 -1/4 oz Rich Syrup to give extra sweetness. Better quality of Grappa is required. Hard Strawberry Lemonade in Grappa’s Way.

Not a fan at all with Tosolini Fragola and Marolo Moscato Grappa

For three ingredients, this is surprising complex in flavour. Very grappa forward, so use a good brand. The strawberry liqueur adds a hint of sweetness and softens any harsh edges of the grappa. Lemon adds the sour hints which keep the sweetness down. Great and refreshing.
