I was hoping today would be a Halloween cocktail, you didn’t disappoint! This one looks awesome, as I love anise/licorice flavor. Don’t have any black Sambuca on hand, but to the liquor store tomorrow.
Always a treat when we get an Anders’ original recipe! Still hoping for a cocktail book from you one day! Wonderful aesthetic and presentation of the drink. As an aside, Sambuca is the one spirit that I have a revulsion towards. Everyone has that one spirit or drink that they overindulged in their youth and can’t stand anymore. For me it was Sambuca one night in high school. Can’t touch the stuff a decade and a few years later!
Great drink and fresh tasting. Blue flame while pouring was awesome. Agreed that it’s not a pretty drink but just find a dark room with the fire place going and u won’t notice.
Made this tonight and it was spectacular!! Orange drink becomes black when you pour freaking fire into the glass (with booze of course). You are a wizard Anders!! Three cocktails and I still have my eye brows and beard!
Hi Anders, I have made this and am now enjoying it. Made to your noted spec when you first posted it. Very impressed! A lovely flavour combination. Nick from York
I'm hosting a small (not halloween) event next week, I'll definitely be adding this to the list! Living in the UK, Sambuca is a standard that too many people get an unhealthy distain for ... I'll be looking forward to changing that with this drink!
Having one now. Thank you. It is more balanced than when I switched absinthe for chartreuse in a last word. The cognac and sweetness of both liqueurs helps the balance. Though a float of absinthe would help the fire 🔥
Looks delicious! As a child, a fave memory is this family friend who came for dinner and set the sambuca on fire. I was in the 7 th grade, and it is a favorite memory. Happy Halloween
Brother bought me a bottle of Black Sambuca as a "here's a weird booze to try," and it rips. Liquid licorice candy. This is the first cocktail I've tried with it. The sambuca really punches you in the mouth but the way the lemon and Aperol play in this are killer. Cognac is always really mild, subtle to me so I don't know that I'm picking that out in the drink, but overall its a real winner.
Glad this recipe came out, I needed something for a Halloween party tonight and this fits perfect! I decided my garnish is a twizzler which will also double as a fun straw. It will help make it tastier for people who aren't into flavors besides sweet.
I love the classics, both modern and old ones, but every once in a while we do need some flare (c wut I did thur?). Looks awesome, happy Halloween to the three of you!
I used to make jello shots for the adults taking thier kids trick or treating and I had three that were awesome. The first was just grape jello and vodka, second was orange jello and Fireball and the third was lime jello and absinth. I hate Fireball but with the orange jello it was actually really good. The lime jello and absinth though was a little tougher to make because of the high alcohol proof but once I got into the right ratio it was awesome. Make these, you know you want to
Hi Anders ... another fantastic holiday themed drink. 👍👍 Couldn't find any Maison Rouge Cognac VSOP in my area, so I'm using D'Usse cognac. I definitely want to try this as is for this weekend. However, this drink does offer some creative directions to explore. I have a few ideas and will post the outcomes IF they turn out. I have the concept in my head but I don't think it will execute perfectly on the first try ... unlike the Wicked Word. 🙂 Cheers!!
Great drink for the season Anders. Just made it and found it a little too sweet for my taste but great nonetheless to celebrate Halloween. We just prepared the candy for the kids so no better way to accompany that.
Hi Anders, great video, per the usual. I love the idea. I tried this right now, but I used the Pernod anise liqueur and coloured it with butterfly pea with way too much to make it quickly as dark as possible. With the lemon it turned into this beautiful rich purple with a hint of dirtyness from the lemon. Tasted great! Thank you so much for this recipe and I wish you a spooky Halloween.
This video is so good! Who is this Anders? What a character 😂 really you're getting better every video you make. About this cocktail, I'm not a fan of anice and liquorice, so I thought I could switch sambuca with a dark cherry liqueur 😁
I like that one, it’s a very complex cocktail with a lot going on. However my wife doesn’t like it that much, so I substituted the Sambucca for Hendricks Dry Gin and that one we both agree is s superb one. We didn’t name it yet, it’s a tamed version of yours.
Hi Anders….What spectacular presentation!!👌👌👌you really embrace the Halloween spirit!🎃🎃..and I didn’t mind the “no history” of the drink……well thought out, super fun, and creative!👏👏👏 Enjoy the weekend and Happy Halloween!😁😁🎃🎃
Please be careful with glass and rapid temperature changes! The snifter could explode if you chill it and then light it on fire, so it should start at room temp
I never seen Sambuca used like that.In my mind is a great idea.I really don't know how using this spirit in mixology and i am italian.Do you have others tips about it? Thank you Leonardo
We made this tonight, 4x except I replaced the sambuka with 1/4 oz of absinthe. (1/2 ab. to 4oz other ingredients). No fire. I've never had Orange Julius, but I suspect this is what it tastes like. Delicious. P.S. Do you live in ANDERS-onville?
I'd tested it today - had only Weinbrand, Aperol, Lemon Juice and Ouzo Tasted ❤. No "spooky" colour, but we didn't care 😂 (after the second glass felt like halloween was today anyway 👻🍸😆)
A very cool cocktail. Would it work using Pernod instead of Sambuca to keep the pretty colour and aniseed flavour? (I have a largely full bottle of Pernod and no Sambuca.)
Anders, such a character! If not for the occasional appearance of your lovely...well, I do enjoy your podcast! Quick question: Are you familiar with the aperitif Mirto De Sardegna? If so, do you know of cocktail recipes that use mirto? Thanks, hang in, R
General question.. When I mix a drink for myself and my wife, I double the ingredients and then pour into 2 glasses. Is that what you’d do? What if you are mixing the same drink for 6-8 people, how would you go about it? 😊
A memorable cocktail, with ingredients that are rarely seen together. Thanks for the recipe! For those who don't have black sambuca, may I suggest adding an activated charcoal tablet (can be crushed with a muddler) or some cuttlefish ink (for color) to the shaker for this cocktail? Then you can just strain it.
Ohhh, I love fire drinks! Every time you post one I rush to see if I have the ingredients to make it. Then I don’t because I’m a coward and I’m afraid of fire. 🐶🎃
this was filmed under the most dangerous and scary conditions. Actually it was filmed under broad daylight during the summer of Chicago with 45 degrees and the sun beating the town mercilessly
Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃
Yes Spooky season is upon us and it's delivered a spooky handsome man with a delicious cocktail 🍸🎃
Happy Halloween to you all
Freya's the star of the show today!! Cooooool!! Happy Halloween!!
Happy Halloween Anders! You seem quite “spirited” in this one. Cheers ❤
Happy Halloween, guys 🎃
How the content is produced is a BIG part of why we love watching.
A special thanks to Az!
🍹🍸
Always entertaining....but Freya steals the show this time!!
So I tried this. It’s like a mouthful of black jelly beans. Which I LOVE!!! OutSTANDIng Anders.
Honestly doing the stir after pouring the sambuca can add to the theatrics. Like stirring the last ingredient into a cauldron. Very cool!
That looks wicked!
The pour with the flaming black sambuca into the nick and nora looked perfect. Great presentation for a fun cocktail. Happy spooky times!
Cheers
Next level soundtrack!
Anders’s awkward spooky intro is my best reason to smile today! 😂
I love when your pup makes an appearance! Thanks for another great cocktail and video!
To the bar!🍸
This was a great one! Thanks Anders and Az
Haha that beat drop when pouring 😂 noice
Very nice!
Love the soundtracks, Az!
“….and a sense of adventure.” 😂
My parents always keep a bottle of sambuca around, I’ll have to give this a try next time I’m over there. You the goat anders!
I was hoping today would be a Halloween cocktail, you didn’t disappoint! This one looks awesome, as I love anise/licorice flavor. Don’t have any black Sambuca on hand, but to the liquor store tomorrow.
The spooky effects are off the hook! I'm partial to the 'Thing' "special effects." Another amazing video and drink! Thank you!
Always a treat when we get an Anders’ original recipe! Still hoping for a cocktail book from you one day! Wonderful aesthetic and presentation of the drink.
As an aside, Sambuca is the one spirit that I have a revulsion towards. Everyone has that one spirit or drink that they overindulged in their youth and can’t stand anymore. For me it was Sambuca one night in high school. Can’t touch the stuff a decade and a few years later!

Happy Halloween Guys!! Pup is super cute!
Cheers! Happy Halloween!
Made this tonight and it was spectacular!! Orange drink becomes black when you pour freaking fire into the glass (with booze of course). You are a wizard Anders!! Three cocktails and I still have my eye brows and beard!
This is such a great idea for subtle and intriguing flair in the bar. I'm going to acquire some black sambuca and give this a try at my bar!
That was tasty. Since i made it for myself clear sambuca and no flames. Nice balance. I am a anise fan but it wasn't overwhelming.
Yeah... the signature move... the initial shake... cool!
no lie the second I started this I was like “there better be a costumed dog in this gd video”. you never disappoint.
Hi Anders, I have made this and am now enjoying it. Made to your noted spec when you first posted it.
Very impressed! A lovely flavour combination.

I just made your cocktail, I love Zambuca. This is a winner!!
love the original. Happy Halloween. cheers
Made it tonight. Firstly, what a show! That looked so cool!!!
But more important...this is delicious!!! So good!
Thanks for this one!
We LOVE watching your videos!!
@6:27 Az's entrance = epic 🧛♀
I'm hosting a small (not halloween) event next week, I'll definitely be adding this to the list! Living in the UK, Sambuca is a standard that too many people get an unhealthy distain for ... I'll be looking forward to changing that with this drink!
Great looking cocktail and I loved the purple bar lighting
great drink! and a huge thanks for the proper use of the word, "momentarily". WORD!
How exciting! Stoked that it turned out well for you. Happy Halloween y'all!
Didn’t have cognac but really wanted to try this. Did it with dry curaçao and it was awesome!
Awww, the dog has a costume. I don't really like alcohol or cocktails. I just like learning things and your videos are neat
Thanks! Loved the video, and sounds delicious. Not sure I want a whole bottle of sambuca though.
Love the outfit, Az!
Having one now. Thank you. It is more balanced than when I switched absinthe for chartreuse in a last word. The cognac and sweetness of both liqueurs helps the balance. Though a float of absinthe would help the fire 🔥
I had to substitute the sambuca with .5 absinthe and .5 triple sec, it was still really good!
Looks delicious! As a child, a fave memory is this family friend who came for dinner and set the sambuca on fire. I was in the 7 th grade, and it is a favorite memory. Happy Halloween

I appreciate this channel. Love that Jack o lantern!!!!
completely agree, there's nothing quite as haunting as the innocent laughter of children...
Awesome cocktail creation! More Freya content, please :)
I love the classics, both modern and old ones, but every once in a while we do need some flare (c wut I did thur?).
Looks awesome, happy Halloween to the three of you!
Yay halloween! Thx you two!
Saludos anders desde cabo san lucas México
Very cool
Happy Halloween! And amazing riff. Thinking about what I have on the shelf I might try replacing the sambuca with Picon Amer 🤔
This is a great cocktail! I love the flavors!

Such a charming family
Perfect drink for Halloween and who can go past the adorable costume
Happy holidays all, this drink looks amazing, can't wait to give it a try

Anders that was hilarious and a fine looking cocktail.
Happy Halloween Y’all
amazin
Very nice! More sambuca cocktails please. Even my bottle of Malort gets more use 😅
Soo Wicked 🎃

That blue flame pour is ridiculously cool 😍

A great episode as always and hope the three of y’all have a safe and happy Halloween 🎃!
Cheers! Happy Halloween 🎃 👻!
hey looks like maison rouge is back with a new bottle!
Yeah I was pretty happy to see it back
I got scared you weren’t uploading today thank you
Happy Halloween, Anders & Az. Thanks for the greatness. HH!,Freya
Cheers! Happy Halloween!
Great episode and I loved how it ended with dog tricks ❤
You guys are the best.
This is so cool!
Sticking to the absinthe myself for Halloween
Nothing wrong with that

Fun video! I love it!
Congratulations on your engagement!
Awww, Freya! I will stay away from lighting my drinks on fire, tho! 🤣
Please be careful with glass and rapid temperature changes! The snifter could explode if you chill it and then light it on fire, so it should start at room temp
I never seen Sambuca used like that.In my mind is a great idea.I really don't know how using this spirit in mixology and i am italian.Do you have others tips about it?
Thank you
Leonardo
After the intro, when you rose up, you reminded me of John Carradine as Dracula in the 1940s.
I wonder if there would be a cool effect to stir the cocktail right before pouring in the lit sambuca with the swirling and whatnot
Love the cocktail and especially Freya!!😍 🎉
We made this tonight, 4x except I replaced the sambuka with 1/4 oz of absinthe. (1/2 ab. to 4oz other ingredients). No fire. I've never had Orange Julius, but I suspect this is what it tastes like. Delicious. P.S. Do you live in ANDERS-onville?
Very impressive original cocktail! 🥳👍
I'd tested it today - had only Weinbrand, Aperol, Lemon Juice and Ouzo
Tasted ❤. No "spooky" colour, but we didn't care 😂 (after the second glass felt like halloween was today anyway 👻🍸😆)
A very cool cocktail. Would it work using Pernod instead of Sambuca to keep the pretty colour and aniseed flavour? (I have a largely full bottle of Pernod and no Sambuca.)

I can't find the Maison Rouge anywhere! I bought a bottle a few months ago but now I can't find it anywhere
General question.. When I mix a drink for myself and my wife, I double the ingredients and then pour into 2 glasses. Is that what you’d do? What if you are mixing the same drink for 6-8 people, how would you go about it? 😊
“I hear children laughing... It's very scary"😂😂😂😅
A memorable cocktail, with ingredients that are rarely seen together. Thanks for the recipe! For those who don't have black sambuca, may I suggest adding an activated charcoal tablet (can be crushed with a muddler) or some cuttlefish ink (for color) to the shaker for this cocktail?

Hello Az.. 😄
this was filmed under the most dangerous and scary conditions.
Actually it was filmed under broad daylight during the summer of Chicago with 45 degrees and the sun beating the town mercilessly
My son is 18 (and we both believe trick or treating ends at 12) so it’s now adult Halloween!
