Lazzaroni Sambuca Liqueur

Lazzaroni Sambuca is one of the most critically acclaimed sambucas in the world — and a bottle with nearly 175 years of Italian craftsmanship behind it. Produced by Paolo Lazzaroni & Figli in Saronno, Italy since 1851 — the same town famous for its amaretti cookies and amaretto liqueur — this sambuca follows an original 19th-century formulation built on essential oils extracted through steam distillation of star anise seeds, blended with distillate of elderberries, fennel seeds, refined European beet sugar, and a proprietary bouquet of herbs and botanicals. The result is a sambuca with more depth and complexity than most competitors. The nose opens with a gentle hint of wild berry bush and sweet meringue alongside pure anise, while the palate is rich and velvety with a mildly sweet full body and a long, penetrating, warming pure star anise finish with a distinctive mineral quality reminiscent of wet limestone. 93 points and a Gold Medal from the International Review of Spirits. Serve neat con mosca — with three coffee beans — or in an espresso for the classic Italian caffè corretto. Buy Lazzaroni Sambuca Liqueur online with fast shipping right to your door.
