Answers:
Customarily Sumbuca is served straight-up in a shot sized glass that looks like a miniature wine glass but is more slender. Once poured, add three coffee beans to it and serve. It is then sipped and people like to keep a coffee bean or two between their cheek and gums to enjoy the flavors together. Some chew the beans to extract more flavor from them.
Personally, especially in a warm climate, I like to make a simple yet yummy drink. Use a short, wide glass (called a low ball?) filled with ice, add 1/2 Sambuca and 1/2 water. When stirred it will turn a milky color.
If you ever need to order the drink in Spanish say "Sambuca de mitad y agua de mitad con hielo".
Enjoy!
