Lazzaroni Sambuca is made by the same company responsible for the definitive Italian amaretto liqueur. It is a clear, high-proof, anise (black licorice) flavored liqueur, often recommended served ice-cold and/or with coffee beans.
It is made from a steam distillation of the star anise seeds and is said to be based upon a century’s old recipe.
The 1851 is a reference to the founding of the company.
