Self indulgence and Sambuca on the rocks...

Does anyone drink Sambuca on the rocks anymore? I say anymore, because that's how we used to make it happen down Wagga way. Back in the day. Way back in the day when we were young and didn't care what the manufacturer intended. It was hot and we wanted ice cubes in our Sambuca. So we made it happen. Just a room full of single dudes, ice clinking in glasses of magnificently chilled Sambuca. That era ended at a New Year's Eve 2004/5 party at The Ritz when someone spilled an entire skinny bottle of White over the kitchen bench and floor, just before we all crawled to bed. New Year's Day 2005 was 44 degrees and The Ritz the opposite of air-conditioned, so the Sambuca fused itself to the kitchen and had to be scrubbed off. The smell was like licorice that had almost passed through an entire fat man's digestive system before he had vomited it back up. The ice cubes probably would have melted by the time they'd reached his colon.
