History

Using unaged grappa amplifies the olive oil influence in this unique, must-try cocktail.

This is an adaptation of Lorenzo Antinori's Olive Oil Sour. Simon Sedgley, a fellow Discerning Drinker, shared comments that inspired this version. The name refers to grappa and brandy, which predominantly come from northern Italy, while olive oil is mostly made in southern Italy.
