Happy NATIONAL ANISETTE DAY - The Anisette Martini
July 2nd is
NATIONAL ANISETTE DAY
and this ANISETTE MARTINI is a Star of Anise Cocktails!
Anise (Pimpinella anisum) is a spice that is very reminiscent of licorice. Star Anise (Illicium verum) closely resembles Anise in flavor but is not actually Anise. Both have a licorice flavor to them. If you've ever had Galliano, Sambuca, Pastis or Absinthe you will be somewhat familiar with the flavors of Anise aka Aniseed or Star Anise as one of these has been used to flavor those liqueurs.
Of course, another liqueur that is flavored with Anise or Star Anise is Anisette and that is the "star" of my Anisette Martini for National Anisette Day!

ALMOND BUTTERCRUNCH COCKTAIL RECIPE
If you're fond of sweet, candy inspired cocktails and like Almond Roca, I have the perfect cocktail for you. All you need now is an excuse and a few moments at the end of the day to enjoy it.
Buttercrunch candy is like toffee but made with less butter and heated to the hard crack candy stage so you get a crunchy texture. The ingredients are butter, sugar, corn syrup, chopped almonds and a chocolate coating. I'm addicted to the stuff so a cocktail recipe was going to happen.
