In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Pour ice into a mixing glass and add 2 fluid ounces (59mL) of overproof bourbon whiskey and 1 fluid ounce (30mL) of sambuca. Then add 4 dashes of bitters and stir the ingredients together. Finally, use a strainer to strain the cocktail into a small rocks glass with ice. Add 2 twists of lemon peel to the top of the drink for a zesty garnish. You can use other forms of whiskey besides bourbon for this drink, though you should make sure that the drink you use has a relatively high proof so that its flavor isn't totally masked by that of the sambuca. Fill a mixing glass with ice and pour 0.75 fluid ounces (22mL) of cinnamon liqueur, 1 fluid ounce (30mL) of vodka, and 0.5 fluid ounces (15mL) of sambuca into the glass. Stir the ingredients together and then use a strainer to strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass. This drink is sometimes referred to as a "10 Below cocktail." You can garnish this drink with a preserved, sweetened cherry, such as a maraschino cherry. Place ice inside a cocktail shaker and add 1 fluid ounce (30mL) of sambuca, 0.5 fluid ounces (15mL) of lemon juice, and 0.25 fluid ounces (7.4mL) of simple syrup. Shake the ingredients together and then use a strainer to strain them into a champagne flute. Finally, add a long, skinny lemon peel to the cocktail and then top the whole thing off with 4 fluid ounces (120mL) of sparkling wine. Make sure you add the lemon peel before you add the sparkling wine, as pouring in the wine without the lemon peel already in the cocktail will cause it to bubble up too fast. You can also add a brandied cherry to the drink as a final garnish. You may see this drink referred to as a "Sambuca 75," as it's a variation of an established cocktail known as the "French 75." Simply pour 2 fluid ounces (59mL) of gin, 1.5 fluid ounces (44mL) of sambuca, and 3-5 dashes of orange bitters into a mixing glass with ice.

However, this aperitivo cocktail is best served just before a meal to stimulate the appetite. Put ice in a cocktail shaker and add 0.75 fluid ounces (22mL) of sambuca, 2 fluid ounces (59mL) of tequila, 1 fluid ounce (30mL) of lime juice, and 0.25 fluid ounces (7.4mL) of agave syrup. Shake the ingredients together, then use a strainer to strain them into a tall glass filled with ice. Finally, add 0.5 fluid ounces (15mL) of soda water to complete the cocktail. For an added fruity flavor, you can also add 2 dashes of orange bitters to the cocktail shaker before you shake the ingredients together. Use lime wedges to garnish the drink when you serve it.
