Meet the Flaming Sambuca – It’s got this sweet, slightly thick and super smooth flavor. Think notes of anise and licorice, with a smoky undercurrent.
Well, that’s because its main ingredient is the Italian anise-flavored liqueur, Sambuca itself. It’s all served up with ice cubes in a shot glass.
Now, let’s talk origins. Legend has it that the Flaming Sambuca was born in the midst of a lively Italian celebration. A charismatic bartender, with a twinkle in their eye and a flair for the dramatic, decided that regular shots were just too mainstream. So, they whipped out a bottle of Sambuca, set it ablaze, and the rest is history.
