Corleone
Aromatic, floral and surprisingly dry with pleasing grape fruitiness and botanical complexity

I used a rough Grappa (Luxardo) and like how it plays off of the Grapes. A softer smooth Grappa would need more than 15 ml for me. The Gin is a bit lost, but it isn't about the Gin in this drink. Thinking about trying it with a Pisco as the spirit instead of Gin, any thoughts on that?

This was a bit timid for us. We substituted lime for the lemon juice (or maybe split it 50:50) and two dashes of grapefruit bitters for the one of orange bitters. Better to our taste.
