liquorice flavoured liqueur

[coyn]

Ouzo

[coyn]

Come to think of it I think ouzo tastes like aniseed not liquorice

[Pies]

Italiano

[Clanad]

Another is Galiano...

Galliano isn't liquorice flavoured. I believe it is flavoured with vanilla and honey. They do produce a sambuca though. Is Italiano not similar to Galliano?

The only liquorice flavoured liqueur I can think of is Liquorice Corky's, but I'd be surprised if that is the answer you are looking for!

Pernod is liquorice-flavoured.

Opal Nera Black Sambuca, Benedictine D.O.M., Eclisse (Liquirizia), Toussaint, Pastis, Anisette.

Hope that helps, ell1e.

Sorry to disagree, but Galliano is flavored with anise seed and is quite assuredly licorice flavored... Although relying on my own experience, this from Wikipedia:

Galliano is an alcoholic drink created in 1896 by Italian distiller Arturo Vaccari, by blending local and exotic ingredients such as star anise and vanilla. The spirit was named after Maggiore Galliano, hero of the East African wars at the end of the 19th century. Galliano Liquore soon travelled across the borders with the Italian pioneers heading for the gold rush in California.

Galliano is a bright yellow color and is packaged in a distinctive tall bottle shaped roughly like the Eiffel Tower. Because the flavor is so exotic and unusual, it can be difficult to mix with other liqueurs. It is often used to make Harvey Wallbangers. Interestingly, it makes a delicious combination with triple sec, Irish cream and milk in a variant of the Screaming Orgasm.

Like i said Italiano !!!

Hmmm...

I'll be happy to be corrected, but surely despite their similar taste anise and liquorice are completely different things.

[rjkh]

A quick check of wikipedia indicates that anise and star anise are completely different. And that both are different to liquorice.

And in the name of science, I had a couple of shots of Galliano to myself!

Conclusion - it makes a much nicer shot than you would imagine. And I still don't know what it is made of!

Hmmm, I thought we were discussing "liquorice flavored liquors"... Anis, Patis, Fennel and other herbs are deffinitely liquorice flavored. They are not, of course liquorice, which is a root, but the overarching flavor of the above herbs are very similar to liquorice, to most tastes...

[rjkh]

I suppose it comes down to semantics then.

I think we're both right!

[Clanad]

rjkh... good enough, thanks!

[damajowi]

strega always reminds me of liquorice -probably because it has fennel in it

[eskimodave]

pernod

[iluvcatz]

Its Sambuca, try it in a small glass with a couple of coffee beans on top and then light it, looks really impressive, especially if you have guests. Don't forget to blow out the flame before drinking!!
