This refreshing drink balances the sharp bite of Grappa with the zesty lemon juice. A touch of chamomile cordial adds a gentle floral note, while a small amount of sweetener rounds out the acidity. Shaken with ice, it serves as a crisp, aromatic alternative to a classic sour. The optional egg white creates a silky texture, and the garnish of lemon zest and white grapes adds a fresh, visual finish to the chilled tumbler.
