VE.N.TO

IBA

Created as a tribute to the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, this cocktail brings grappa — a fiery Italian pomace brandy — into the sour format with striking results. Honey syrup rounds out grappa's rustic edge, lemon juice provides a clean tartness, and egg white binds it all into a silky, frothy texture. It functions as both a showcase for Italian craft spirits and a genuinely approachable introduction to grappa's character.
