The Dark Destroyer
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.5 / 5
The Dark Destroyer is a bold cocktail that involves the intriguing combination of Sambuca, a sweet and strong anise-flavored liqueur, with the rich, malty depth of Guinness, a classic Irish stout. The contrasting flavors blend to create a unique drinking experience, with the herbal undertones of Sambuca complementing the roasted undertones of the Guinness. Served in a pint glass, this cocktail promises a robust and indulgent treat for those who are adventurous enough to try it, offering a different take on the traditional use of these two well-loved drinks.
