I got this from Food & Wine website, it’s better than I expected. Basically a margarita sweetened with sambuca.
2 oz good tequila blanco
1 oz lime juice
3/4 oz sambuca
1/4 oz agave syrup/water (I just put a bare squirt of agave)
I had no expectations. But Tequila and Sambuca are good together, they aren’t at all discordant and I can taste both. It would probably be a good beginner sambuca drink, you could adjust it down to half & half with the agave.


Yes, exactly. It is still fruity from the lime, and Sambuca is very sweet (overwhelmingly so IMO) the full ounce of lime is fine to offset what ends up being a full ounce of sweetener.
