Sweet Creamy

Flander's Flake-Out es un long drink simple de dos ingredientes que combina Sambuca con refresco de zarzaparrilla, creando un refresco dulce, herbáceo y con prominente anis. El carácter anisado de la Sambuca se mezcla con las notas herbáceas dulces y similares a la raíz de cerveza de la zarzaparrilla para una combinación inusual y distintiva. Es un cóctel sencillo servido en vaso Collins.

History & Origins

Flander's Flake-Out is a contemporary British pub drink with no documented single origin, combining two beverages with strong European herbal traditions. Sambuca has roots in southern Italian liqueur-making, while sarsaparilla was a popular 19th-century medicinal tonic in Britain and America. The name's precise origin is disputed and unrecorded.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: sweet anise from the Sambuca and the herbal, root-beer-adjacent aroma of sarsaparilla. Palate: very sweet and anise-forward with a herbal, slightly medicinal sarsaparilla character and moderate effervescence. Finish: sweet, herbal, and anise-heavy with a lingering root note.

Pro Tip

Pour the sarsaparilla first, then add the Sambuca gently to preserve the carbonation, and serve with plenty of ice to temper the sweetness.
