description Romana Sambuca Overview
Romana Sambuca is a brand of sambuca, a clear Italian-style liqueur flavored principally with anise.

Some serving rituals ignite the spirit briefly, but flaming is a presentation method rather than a defining production feature and requires appropriate fire precautions.

What does Romana Sambuca taste like?
