Chupito!



The Basque equivalent to grappa (or port) is called Orujo. It’s a spirit distilled from wine and flavoured with special herbs or coffee.
It's served in a "chupito"--a small shot-like glass and is referred to simply as a "chupito." The "blanco" smelled and tasted like paint thinner, the "cafe" was similar to a kahula-flavor, and the "herbal" reminded me of Anisette.
