Sambuca what a waste burning alcohol off, and should be licorice beans not coffee youngsters dont know everything,warm your licorice beans first.and to all those who are going to say licorice doesn't have beans i know its the root ,dried and chopped  up they call it a bean in Italian shops where i used to buy from .[:o)]

And that may be your preference Lance. As stated in my previous post MY preference is 3 COFFEE beans. Lit only enough to release some coffee flavour, not for ages burning off the alcohol.

Quote from Infobarrel:
"Sambuca is steeped in Italian tradition and can be found served on ice, or mixed with cola or water. But the most enjoyable serving of Sambuca comes the old fashioned way, warm with three coffee beans afloat in the glass. According to Italians, each bean has a meaning: health, happiness, and prosperity. While setting the liqueur ablaze imparts some of the coffee flavor to the drink, it softens the taste."

Each to their own

Scunner have tried Stags Breath, but still prefer Glayva.
Toky, took my breath away, what a glamourous new picture. I used to think you looked like Zoe Wannamaker in the old picture, the new one looks like Miss Scotland... What's the secret???

My absolute favourite (although I've never seen it in any restaurant yet) is Stag's Breath - if you like Glayva you may well fall in love with this Jacqui - it's a liqueur made from Speyside whisky and fermented honey. It is very moreish, you have been warned :D




Co-incidently was given a bottle of that at Christmas.
