I must say, the Black Antica Liquorice Sambuca was delightful. It possesses a subtle medicinal note that adds an intriguing touch to its overall taste. Surprisingly, I even took a shot of it when I was feeling under the weather, and it provided a soothing effect as it smoothly glided down my throat. I find it quite challenging to choose between raspberry, black, and banana. Without a doubt, I highly recommend giving it a try.

With New Year approaching, I've been replenishing my cocktail cabinet. Usually, I'd go for regular Sambuca, but this time, I decided to give this one a try. The flavour is delightful, and definitely worth a shot. Just chill the bottle and use a frozen shot glass.
