What's your take on Grappa?

[/ QUOTE ]

My roommates and I recently bought a bottle of grappa to try it out. Once we tasted it, we decided that there was no way we were going to drink it unless we somehow forced ourselves to, so we made a pact that any time the three of us were home for the night, we'd each finish a glass. Yuck.

I'm sure it wasn't the best grappa available, but I can't imagine the difference being large enough that I'd actually like others.

I used to hate grappa too. But I love it now. You have to spring for the good stuff though. Germain-robin has some fantastic bottlings and that's the only grappa I drink now.

I hated Campari for a long time too. But some drinks I love it in. The Negroni is good but try a Romanza:
1 part Campari
1 part Grand Mariner
3 parts grapefruit juice

(actually the original recipe calls for less juice than the liquors but I prefer it this way)
