Top Shelf Black Sambuca: Cocktail Series
Still Spirits Top Shelf Black Sambuca is a purple liqueur with a strong aniseed and delicate liquorice flavour.
Cocktail Suggestion: Dracula's Kiss
This martini is inspired by a recipe on The Spirit website. It’s a variation on the classic Licorice Stick, using black sambuca as its base. Not everyone loves the taste of sambuca, but the inclusion of chocolate-flavoured liqueur gives this drink wider appeal. For extra dramatic effect, pour grenadine into a small vial and add a drop of “blood” to each drink before serving.
