The original recipe from the 1800s shows the name "Anisette," and today Lazzaroni Sambuca is faithfully produced according to that formulation — a sweet and velvety liqueur, thick and oily, with intense and delicate flavors, absolutely transparent and colorless, at not less than 38% alcohol by volume. From Lazzaroni, the historic Saronno house whose liqueur-making tradition dates to 1851.
Tasting Notes: Star anise aromas with a hint of wild berry bush and meringue; rich and velvety with a mildly sweet full body and a long, penetrating, warming finish of pure star anise and wet mossy limestone. Great purity and dimension.
How to Use: The classic Italian ritual — neat with the "three coffee beans" (con la mosca), in coffee, or flambéed over the beans.
ABV: 38% (76 Proof)
