Brand: Molinari Sambuca Extra

Price: $24.99

Why You Want It: Molinari Sambuca Extra is a top seller in Italy, and it's obvious why-- it goes down smooth and is made of pure ingredients. The anise-based spirit goes great with espresso coffee and grapefruit juice. Drink it with ice or chilled, and kick back Godfather-style (just don't kill anyone). Salute! (We learned that from this cutie).

Sambuca con la Mosca (literally, "Sambuca with fly")

Served neat with coffee beans floating on the surface  

Superstition holds that it is bad luck to serve Sambuca with any more or less than three beans representing health, happiness, and prosperity or the Christian Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost), depending on one’s choice of symbolism.
