Sambuca is Italian licorice liqueur with an identity crisis, in the best possible way. Served with three coffee beans on top (salute, salute, salute), set on fire in a dive bar at 2am, layered into a Baby Guinness, or stirred into something a little more refined. Sweet anise, a slow burn, and the drink that ends every Italian dinner you’ve ever had.
