Nice cocktail brings together two flavors - coffee and anise/black licorice - that aren't typically combined but work well here. The single cream and rum keep this from being heavy and cloying - it is in fact quite light-bodied. Flavor notes from the rum don't make it past the dominant anise and coffee (note - I used anisette, not Sambuca, and it was only 50 proof vs. the Sambuca at 76, so my drink may have been a bit more sweet and less boozy and spicy).

Very pleasant after dinner dessert drink. Light and flavorful. Just the right amount of spicy and creaminess.
