==Serving==
Sambuca may be served [[Bartending terminology|neat]]. It may also be served [[Bartending terminology|on the rocks]] or with water, resulting in the [[ouzo effect]] from the [[anethole]] in the anise. Like other anise liqueurs, it may be consumed after coffee as an {{lang|it|[[ammazzacaffè]]}} (Italian: "coffee-killer") or added directly to coffee in place of sugar to produce a {{lang|it|[[caffè corretto]]}} (Italian: "corrected coffee").<ref>{{cite news |last=Gray |first=W.

A serving of sambuca can be a shot with seven coffee beans, representing the [[seven hills of Rome]]. Likewise, a shot with one coffee bean, called {{lang|it|con la mosca}}, (Italian: "with the fly"), is as common. The traditional serving is with three coffee beans, each representing health, happiness and prosperity.<ref name="Rathbun" /><ref>{{cite journal |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JDgsAQAAMAAJ&q=sambuca+con+mosca+holy+trinity |title= Wine & Spirit |publisher= William Reed |date= 2008 |access-date= 2013-12-23}}</ref> The shot may be ignited to toast the coffee beans with the flame extinguished immediately before drinking.<ref>{{cite book |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=1001 Foods To Die For |url=https://archive.org/details/1001foodstodiefo00andr |url-access=registration|page=[https://archive.org/details/1001foodstodiefo00andr/page/935 935]|publisher=Andrews McMeel Publishing |date=Nov 1, 2007 |isbn=978-0740770432 |access-date=2013-12-23}}</ref>

Sambuca is also used in cooking, in small amounts because it has a strong flavour. It is usually used in desserts and seafood recipes.
