Grappa should be served neither too cold nor too warm. The ideal serving temperature is between 48 and 55 degrees for young and aromatic grappa and 60 and 64 degrees for aged grappa. When in doubt, it's best to serve it at a lower temperature.

Should grappa be refrigerated?

Young and aromatic grappa should be served chilled (9-13°C); aged grappa at slightly below room temperature (15-17°C). That said it's better to serve too cold than too warm. Ideally a medium sized tulip shaped glass should be used. Avoid serving grappa in balloons and flutes.

Mixology and Grappa

Unlike other hard alcohol, grappa should be consumed and appreciated by itself, to enjoy its aromas and flavors 360°. In fact, this highly modern product (notwithstanding its long history of tradition behind it) is best consumed straight up.
