description Flaming Sambuca Overview
Flaming sambuca is a serving style for sambuca, an anise-flavored Italian liqueur, in which the drink is briefly ignited before it is served. The flame is extinguished before consumption, and the heating can warm the liqueur and caramelize some surface sugars. Sambuca is also commonly served con la mosca, with three coffee beans floating in the glass, although that presentation is not limited to the flaming version.
