Grappamiel

Grappamiel or Grapamiel or is a mixed alcoholic beverage popular in Uruguay containing grappa, spirits obtained from various grains plus honey and water.

Preparation

The process includes distillate of the bagasse and lees of grapes and grains which is then mixed with natural honey, water and sugar. Grappamiel contains between 20% and 25% alcohol by volume.

Serving

It is enjoyed principally in bars served in a classic 25cl copa. Because it is a strong drink, it is popular with Uruguayan street musicians in the winter, and is traditionally drunk before taking the stage in the summer.

During hot weather, it is customary to take it in a tall 30cl glass with plenty of ice cubes.

In the past two decades, some cocktail bars have mixed the drink with a variety of flavors, for example:

gollark: ... no.
gollark: I think I'm somewhat safer than average due to running my phone without Google services and carefully monitoring apps' location use, but the phone network also leaks location data horribly.
gollark: t!profile
gollark: What level?
gollark: More "let us exchange our preferred one-sentence retorts against [OUTGROUP OPINIONS]" than anything which is actually likely to lead to anything good.
