Do you need to use grappa? Could you use something else?

What is grappa? Grappa is a peasant drink that can be found in most good liquor stores that has an assortment of good Italian Alcoholic beverages. The question for the cook is not necessarily what is grappa?, but what kind of Grappa? Grappa comes in about as many varieties as you can think of . . . in some small local Italian eateries, you can find grappa in well over a dozen flavors . . . all very, very strong in both flavor and alcoholic content.
