As the name suggests, a sour laced with characterful grappa, flavoured with rich ripe strawberry. Dry and complex rather than sweet and one-dimensional
The single grape vine at the bottom of my garden produced it's first proper yield this year - and it was a bumper one! There was only one thing for it: Buy a still and make Grappa.
While 'aged' is a bit grandiose, I did acquire some whiskey barrel pieces and let them sit in the finished batch for a couple of weeks which totally changed the colour and enriched the flavour.
This is the first cocktail I've made with it. My Crème de Frais is also homemade so I don't know how close to the original this tastes, but I can tell you it's delicious!
