Sambuca (ital. Sambuca) is an Italian (as well as Spanish) liqueur with anise flavor. Usually it is a clear sweet liquid with a specific aroma and an alcohol content of 38-42%. At the same time, there are dark and even red varieties of sambuca. The drink is made from wheat alcohol, sugar, ordinary anise, star anise, extracts from berries or elder flowers. Spicy herbs are added to some varieties.

Sambuca is used as part of cocktails. For example, "fiery" — several layers of alcoholic beverages are poured into a high, even glass in ascending order of strength, namely: any light liqueur, champagne, sambuca, vodka, absinthe. The drink is set on fire and drunk through a straw. Washed down, if necessary, with lemon juice.
Sambuca liqueur is a popular ingredient in layered shots, such as "Brain Tumor", "Hiroshima".
