When we lived in Syria, we enjoyed araq, which is not too different from grappa. but very smooth. With your meal you would order a bottle, the smallest being a quarter, whether that was a quarter liter or a quarter of a “fifth” I do not know. Pour it in your glass, pour in ice water to make it cloudy, and enjoy. It did go well with the lamb and we never had a problem finishing a bottle.
