Grappa is an alcoholic beverage: a fragrant, grape-based pomace brandy of Italian origin that contains 35 to 60 percent alcohol by volume. Grappa is made by distilling the skins, pulp, seeds, and stems left over from winemaking after pressing the grapes.

The main spirit made is based a fermented Cherry Kool-Aid wine that is then distilled and sweetened with some more kool-aid added. But also experimenting by just adding kool-aid flavoring to vodka. Both cherry and grape.
