Sol y Sombra

September 28, 2013 by Lois Britton 2 Comments

Sol y Sombra  or Spainish truth serum. We finished many an evening with our friends over a sol y sombra or two when we lived in Spain. Secrets were shared, problems were solved, or so it seemed. 😉

For your next after dinner sipping, mix equal parts brandy and anis (the Spanish licorice liqueur).

In this case, I’ve used zambuca because that’s what we had on hand. I like mine a little on the sweet side, so I usually pour a little heavy on the anis. Just the thing to warm you up on a winter evening.
