[edit] Changes

Removed "Nice" from bottom of article in "Flaming Sambuca" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.79.206.251 (talk) 18:00, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Elderberry connection

I see the Elderberry is "Sambucus Nigra". Is there any connection with Sambuca? --Slashme 12:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, I googled it, and yes, it is made with Elderberries. --Slashme 07:22, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I doubt it. The German wiki claims the opposite is true. Additionally, there is no mention of elderberries on the Sambuca bottle in front of me.85.182.3.182 02:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Sambuca is flavoured with anis and elderberries. This is where the name derives from, despite what the German Wikipedia says.87.80.176.28 14:42, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Molinari Italia[1] and Luxardo[2] claim that Sambuca is not related to Sambucus (elderberry or elderflower); however, numerous gastronomical sources (via Google search) suggest that Sambuca is flavored with anise and elderberry (see Oxford and Barron's citations at Answers.com). There are numerous references to Luxardo's Sambuca dei Cesari being flavored with Paduan elderberries[3][4][5], one source even suggesting the elderberries come from Luxardo's orchards.96.26.252.239 (talk) 19:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The beans

The Dutch wikipedia says the beans stand for health, wealth and luck. Which one is true? Yorian 22:15, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flaming Sambuca: other ( more dangerous version; for Daredevils only.) )

dry your lips at first. Poor shotglass in mouth and dry lips again. Hold your head back and open your mouth with the sambuca still in your mouth. hold your head back far enough so you look at the ceiling. Now light the sambuca with a lighter and let it flame in your mouth, when it becomes to warm just close your mouth and nothing bad happens. It looks awesome in a pub, surely if it is a bit dark.

I definately saw that a few weeks ago. Looked pretty cool, but I didn't know it was Sambuca. 69.255.38.193 00:39, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General clean-up

I added data from it.wiki, removing some parts that sounded like spam. Moreover, I have removed the box about cocktails because Sambuca is not a cocktail, but a liquor. Alessio Damato (Talk) 13:54, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trey Hatcher

I cannot find a reference to the Hatcher drink nor a person named Trey Hatcher. Can someone please provide a reference. Otherwise it should be removed. --Zippy1981 (talk) 18:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coffee Beans

I want to change this. Everyone knows the Italian tradition of putting three beans in the glass is to reference the holy trinity. Surfbruddah (talk) 19:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
