Sambuca Coffee Frappe is a refreshing and indulgent cocktail that combines the rich flavors of Sambuca and coffee liqueur. With its origins in Italy, Sambuca is a clear, anise-flavored liqueur that provides a sweet, slightly spicy kick to this cocktail.

The addition of coffee liqueur brings a smooth and creamy element, balancing out the strong flavors of the Sambuca and adding a hint of caffeine. The drink is typically served over ice, giving it a refreshing and chilled texture.

Its unique combination of strong flavors and cool, refreshing profile make it a popular choice for after-dinner drinks or as a refreshing summer cocktail. Sip on a Sambuca Coffee Frappe and transport yourself to Italy with every delicious sip.
