From the Bartender

Chamomile cordial can be difficult to source commercially - bartenders often make their own by cold-steeping dried chamomile flowers in a 1:1 simple syrup for 2–4 hours, then straining. The quality of the grappa matters enormously here; opt for a young, unaged grappa di Prosecco from the Veneto for authentic regional character.
