ITALY

More than a century of fine distilling and a royal patent issued in 1879 are testaments to the great reputation of Meletti Sambuca, a licorice-flavored liqueur that derives its flavor from the elderflower bush, know in Latin as “sambucus”. Meletti Sambuca is produced with an extended aging step. It is also richer in body than anisette, with an underlying floral character.

Serve With: A rock glass and biscotti, a great match! Or try this great cocktail from our friends at Meletti called The Spring Thaw.

1/4 oz Meletti Sambuca
1/4 oz Fiorente Elderflower Liqueur
