Averna Sambuca

Recommended Posts

I've never been a fan of black licorice. In fact, the smell of Sambuca Romana makes me gag between the overwhelming licorice and cloying sweetness. But I've just acquired a bottle of Averna Sambuca Anice Stellato that's made with 100% Star Anise and I really like it. It has more of that dessert spice warmth and slight hint of heat that you get from good cinnamon. And most importantly, it isn't sickly sweet. Delicious body without the hefty viscosity and sweetness of standard Sambuca.

I'm working on a cocktail or two for the autumn drinks list. So far it's working delightfully with aged applejack and cognac.
