The precise origins of Sambuca are debated, but it's believed to have evolved from earlier anise-flavored liqueurs popular in Italy since the Middle Ages. Its modern form is generally traced back to the late 19th century and early 20th century with various companies claiming its invention.

Sambuca is often associated with Italian hospitality and after-dinner enjoyment. It's a popular digestivo and is often served neat, with coffee, or flambéed.
Serving with Flies
Serving Sambuca "con la mosca" (with the fly) involves serving three coffee beans which represent health, happiness, and prosperity. Chewing on the coffee beans after drinking the Sambuca complements the anise flavor.
Digestivo Tradition
Sambuca is frequently enjoyed as a digestivo, a drink served after a meal to aid digestion. Its anise flavor is thought to have digestive properties.
Café Corretto
Sambuca can be added to espresso to create a 'caffè corretto' ('corrected coffee'), adding a licorice-flavored kick to the coffee.
Recurso Premium
Sambuca is characterized by a dominant anise (licorice) flavor, accompanied by subtle notes from other botanicals and a smooth, slightly sweet profile.
The main flavor component is anise, derived from star anise, green anise, or fennel. Other botanicals may include elderflower, coriander, and sugar. The alcohol base provides a subtle warmth and the sugar contributes to the overall sweetness. High-quality Sambuca should have a well-balanced flavor profile, avoiding excessive bitterness or harshness.

The Flambé
Pour Sambuca into a heat-resistant glass, light it on fire briefly (be careful!), and let the flames burn for a few seconds. Blow out the flames and drink immediately. The brief flambéing caramelizes the sugar and enhances the flavor.
Chilled Serving
While often served at room temperature, chilling Sambuca slightly can enhance its smoothness and refreshing qualities.
Coffee Bean Quality
If serving with coffee beans, use high-quality, freshly roasted beans for a more flavorful experience.
