Anís
Anisette, anisetta, or simply anis is a term that encompasses various anise-based liqueurs. These types of liqueurs don’t have a single origin, but they are mostly associated with Mediterranean countries, such as Italy, Spain, France, Greece, and Turkey.
The drink is mostly distilled from a base that is flavored with anise plant, sometimes together with other botanicals. The distillate is then usually sweetened or additional flavored. Most varieties range from 40 to 60% ABV. Anise liqueurs are usually enjoyed neat, mixed with water, or served over ice, but they can also be added to espresso (café corretto), or incorporated into cocktails and long drinks.
