Sambuca Molinari Digestif

Method

Sambuca Molinari Digestif

Traditional straight serve

Chill a small cordial or shot glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes. Pour 2 tablespoons (roughly 30 ml) of Sambuca Molinari into the chilled glass. Float three whole coffee beans on top of the Sambuca (this is called 'con la mosca' — with the fly). Serve immediately as an after-dinner digestif. If desired, present a small carafe of cold water alongside so the guest can add a splash (approximately 15 ml) to taste to open the liquor's flavors and slightly reduce sweetness and intensity.

On the rocks (optional)

If preferred over chilled neat, place 3 ice cubes into a small rocks glass. Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of Sambuca Molinari over the ice. Add a small splash of cold water (about 15 ml) if you want modest dilution. Garnish with three coffee beans on top of the drink and an optional lemon or orange twist expressed over the surface and dropped into the glass. Serve immediately.

Notes: Use the whole coffee beans as an aromatic garnish and traditional symbol; they are not required to be consumed. Adjust the amount of cold water to personal taste — Sambuca is often enjoyed neat, with water, or on the rocks. Always serve responsibly.
