03History
The IBA's official grappa cocktail, codified in the 2010s — chamomile and honey soften the pomace spirit's edge into an alpine sour.
The cordial is often house-made; chamomile tea + honey + grappa will approximate.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
