Bottega Sambuca d’Anice Stellato
- Online Exclusive
- $29
The initial aromas of aniseed, coffee beans and botanicals become surprisingly coffee-like, buttery and intensely earthy following aeration. Palate entry is smooth as silk, coffee-like and beany with an aniseed underpinning; midpalate is perfectly balanced between the coffee influence and the aniseed herbaceousness.

Bottega Limoncino
- $24
Made with Sicilian lemons and grappa, this “limoncino” has a lingering, bright lemon-candy flavor cut by a welcome fillip of brisk alcohol, which softens the sweetness, and a hint of lemongrass. Although the brand recommends using the spirit for lemon drop cocktails, it would be equally at home in a drink with gin or infused with botanicals like rosemary.

Bottega Gianduia
- $25
The innocent-looking light brown hue evokes chocolate milk. But the aroma warns of decadence, with a luscious candy-bar aroma, nuts and rich milk chocolate. In the mouth, it melts into a thick and velvety feel, with a boozy, milky finish. It’s like sipping liquified chocolate laced with hazelnut liqueur.

Bottega Sambuca
- $24
Made from the essential oils from star-anise seeds, this clear and bright digestif smells and tastes like Good & Plenty licorice candies. Viscous and tongue coating. Stir into coffee or sip straight up, well chilled.

Bottega Limoncino Sicilian Lemons and Grappa Liqueur
- $26
The initial aroma is sweet and pleasantly lemony; following aeration the aroma turns candied and firmly sweet. The palate entry is juicy, tart, and pleasing; at midpalate the taste profile turns a touch mineral- and metal-like, but is still delightfully citrusy. Concludes properly tart. Serve ice cold or on the rocks.
