Coming from Italy and made by Luxardo, this is a classic take on sambuca with a clean, no-nonsense style. Luxardo have been making liqueurs since the 1800s, and this one sticks closely to tradition with a strong focus on anise flavour. It's made using star anise and a blend of botanicals, giving it that bold liquorice character sambuca is known for. Sweet but not overly heavy, it's smooth enough to sip but most people will recognise it as a chilled shot or served the traditional way with coffee beans. It's straightforward, reliable, and does exactly what you expect from a good sambuca.
