Passionate Haze
The Passionate Haze tastes primarily of Frangelico’s distinct chocolaty hazelnut flavor with the pleasant undercurrent of Luxardo Passione Nera. Sambuca is not an ordinary choice I would make going out to a cocktail bar, but this clever little sipper is a pleasant introduction to the world of Sambuca. The flavor is light, yet still there. The beauty of small introductions to premium spirits with large flavors such as Luxardo Passione Nera is that this is an acquired taste. Several small samplings whet the palate for more. Soon a cocktail with deeper flavor “thrill” is what the taste buds yearn for and appreciate.
