0I was at a dinner the other night and one of the ladies asked for a chilled Sambuca, as an after dinner drink. I asked, what is that? Her reply was try it. I tried it and really enjoyed it for an after dinner drink. My question is what should I buy. I checked a couple online sites and the price is all over the place. Anyone have any suggestions as to what brand to buy? TIA.

on 1/12/22 at 11:11 am to Viper3428Sambuca is a great apéritif/ digestif, and if you like anise falvored liquors, you may want something a little bit more flavorful and adventurous. Strega is much more complex and the flavor lingers on the palate much longer than most other anisettes.

Some places put 3 coffee beans in glass for good luck

I’m such a backwards hick that I’d never heard of it and didn’t know how to drink it when I first encountered it. We were at a nicer Italian place and were served sambuca and some other drink with desert. Each had the three coffee beans in the glass. I shot them both. I’m an idiot.

I bought an unopened bottle of Strega at an estate sale for $2. Didn't know what it was. Found out that I do not like anise flavored liquors.
