Local Beverages from Hamburg

Hambuca

(Hambuca)

Hambuca. The aniseed liqueur from Hamburg. The name is a combination of the spirit "Sambuca" and the hometown of Hambuca "Hamburg". As the most important ingredient, star anise is the defining flavour note. Essential oils make Hambuca so full-bodied and full of flavour. Hambuca is refined with natural maple syrup. This gives it its special, caramel flavour and its unmistakable colour, which is reminiscent of amber. A homage to the Hanseatic city of Hamburg as a traditional trading town!

The juices and spritzers are sold in personal direct sales with a lot of heart, dedication and commitment in the Hamburg area.
