The Sambuca is a type of liqueur with a sweet and powerful flavor, made from anise. It is a very typical liquor from Italy with designation of origin. It is typical to serve it flambéed together with coffee beans, so it is normal to find it bottled together with coffee beans. At first, it was made with "sauco", but after many years the "sauco" was replaced by coffee. It is mainly consumed in desserts and served with ice.
