NATIONAL ANISETTE DAY JULY 2
http://nationaldaycalendar.com ^ | n/a | n/a

On July 2nd we observe National Anisette Day. Anisette is an anise-flavored liqueur that is made by distilling aniseed and sometimes adding a sugar syrup. Anisette is popular in Spain, Italy, Portugal and France.

Pure Anisette should not be drunk straight as its alcoholic content is high enough to cause irritation to the throat. However, mixing it in with coffee, gin, bourbon or water will bring out a bit of a sweet flavor. To enjoy this sweetness without drinking, you can make Anisette cookies!

If you are one to grab all of the black jelly beans at Easter, you will surely enjoy this day and the drink that makes it unique, Anisette.

If you do drink/sip it straight,add about 10 coffee beans and stir. Adds a unique flavor.

I can not stand the taste of licorice.
I love the taste of anisette though. I always have a bottle of Sambuca Di Amore on hand for my cakes, cookies, biscotti and pizzelle.

I grew up in place where if you did a job for someone, Sambuca and Lemon cake were always part of the paying up process ☺

I’m the opposite. Licorice is fine, anisette et al, not so much.
