15. Grappa
Grappa is unique because it’s made of leftovers. Alcohol is distilled from grape skins, seeds, stems and pulp, and allowed to ferment. There are many interesting ways of drinking grappa. In Venice, a resentin is when grappa is poured into a nearly-empty cup of espresso and allowed to mingle before being drunk. Grappa is also added to espresso to make a caffe corretto.
