Paolina Sambuca

The name, which has nothing to do with the plant of Elder (Sambuco in Italian), was given to an anise-based liqueur, created in Civitavecchia, near Rome, over 130 years ago.Sambuca Paolina can be served on ice, with one or two coffee seeds as ornament. Sambuca Paolina is used as a coffee-corrector in various regions of Italy. The distinctive taste of the Sambuca Paolina combines perfectly with the fragrance of the coffee.
