Thanks to our listener Laurel, today's episode is all about Sambuca! The liquorice tasting liqueur can be used not just to set your friends on fire.

Here are Marco's Top Picks for Sambuca brands:

1. Molinari Sambuca Extra
2. Luxardo Sambuca Dei Cesari
3. Borghetti Sambuca Oro

And here is a Sweet treat to make with your Sambuca:

INGREDIENTS

•1 cup water

•1/2 cup sugar

•3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

•1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

•1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Sambuca

•2 pound strawberries, trimmed, then halved or quartered if large

PREPARATION

Bring water, sugar, and lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into saucepan you can add the pod too if you like. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then boil until reduced to about 1 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in Sambuca.

NowTransfer syrup to a bowl and let cool completely. Stir in strawberries and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour. Discard pod.

Then you use that over ice-cream.

Pound cake or however you like your strawberries.
