Sambuca Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Anise Infusion

    In a saucepan, combine the water and anise over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and allow to steep for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Dissolve Sugar

    Add the sugar to the anise-infused water, stirring until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Mix with Neutral Spirit

    Once the mixture has cooled, add the neutral spirit (vodka) and stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Coffee Beans (Optional)

    If desired, add coffee beans to the mixture for an additional flavor dimension.

  5. 5

    Bottle and Age

    Transfer the sambuca to clean bottles and seal tightly. Let it age for at least a week to allow the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve chilled, straight, or in coffee. Enjoy responsibly!
