Well, if the only difference is the anise, perhaps anisette and Campari . . . hmmm . . . |

Similar is not equal. The similarity is the bitter orange peel kind of taste. Of course you have to be able to put the anis taste out of focus.
Try using 1oz of Serpis65 with 1/2 oz of Campari, add sugar and water and taste. You will see that the campari dilute the anis taste but doesn't bruise the taste at all otherwise.
It's not the same but there's something in it that is similar. I would say at least one component is the same. |

I'm with you Trainer, I don't see the similarity either. Timing is a funny thing, I'm drinking Serpis 65 tonight. I haven't had any in close to a year and thought I'd get another bottle. It may not be traditional, but I think it's quite enjoyable. |

Tried it. I fail to see any similarity other than color, Unkie Wolfie. |
