1. Anisette (Sambuca) I like Sambuca, but it's a bit pricey

2. Sambuca (Italian pronunciation: ) is an Italian anise-flavoured, usually colourless, liqueur.

3. Anise is traditionally used in Anisettes such as Sambuca, Ouzo, Pernod and Raki

4. 1 oz Sebor® Absinth Absinthe Starting by pouring the sambuca into an old fashioned glass setting a snifter above it in 60 degrees angle

5. This may have to do with the fact that Anisette is a much older product, dating back to the 18th century, while Sambuca is more recent
