Romana Black Sambuca 750 ml

Romana Black Sambuca is a dark variation on the classic Italian anise liqueur, made with star anise and other botanicals along with elderberry for its deep, near-black color, distinguishing it from the clear white Sambuca most bars stock. Romana is one of the longer-established Italian Sambuca producers, and the black variant follows the same base recipe with elderberry added for color and a touch of extra fruit depth. Expect a strong licorice-forward anise flavor with dark fruit sweetness underneath and a smooth, syrupy texture typical of the category. It's traditionally an after-dinner digestif rather than a mixing spirit.

How to drink Romana Black Sambuca

Serve it neat or over ice as a digestif after a meal — the classic Italian way. Some drinkers add three coffee beans on top ("con la mosca") for a bit of bitterness against the sweetness.
