Tasty and beautiful, this liqueur is made with aniseed, sugar and aguardente. Inside the bottle there’s a small branch of aniseed around which any undissolved sugar will crystallise, making it look frosty. The original recipe uses only sugar, lemon juice and sugar cane aguardente. Today you’ll find several variants of this drink (using vodka and passion fruit juice, for example).
