Cocktail of the week with Fabrizio Musorella

Profumo
Sambuca is an aniseed-flavoured liqueur made in Italy. The name originated from the Latin name for elder, a shrub which, along with anise, is an essential ingredient in all Sambucas. First produced in the twenty century, Sambuca is traditionally served Con Mosca, meaning with flies and is flamed in the glass with three coffee beans. The beans signify health, wealth and happiness. Although for its particular taste, Sambuca is not an easy partner in cocktails, there are still a few recipes worth a try, such as this after dinner cocktail. Salute!

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
