About the Ve.N.To
The IBA's only grappa cocktail, created to showcase Italy's pomace spirit. The name spells out Veneto, the region at the heart of grappa production.
Missing something?
- No grappa? Use Pisco (Also an unaged grape spirit, softer and more floral)
- No lemon juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No lemon juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
- No honey syrup? Use Honey (Mix with the same amount of warm water first)
- No honey syrup? Use Agave Syrup
- No chamomile cordial? Use Honey Syrup (Loses the chamomile; make it with chamomile tea for a closer match)
