National Anisette Day On July 2nd we observe National Anisette Day. Anisette is an anise-flavored liqueur that is made by distilling aniseed and sometimes adding a sugar syrup. Anisette is popular in Spain, Italy, Portugal and France.True Anisette should not be drunk straight as its alcoholic content is high enough to cause irritation to the throat. However, mixing it in with coffee, gin, bourbon or water will bring out a bit of a sweet flavor. To enjoy this sweetness without drinking, you can make Anisette cookies!
If you are one to grab all of the black jelly beans at Easter, you will surely enjoy this day and the drink that makes it special, Anisette. Although Anisette does not contain licorice, it does have that sort of distinct flavor. http://nationaldaycalendar.com/national-anisette-day-july-2/

(72,790 posts)1. Ugh, I dislike when folks forget important things
like birthdays and anniversaries. Think it's just an excuse. Get a freaking daily planner and write it down or input them into your calendar on the phone, you know, the device we're on all the time. There's no excuse to forget these important things.
Sorry, this just irks me.
Occasionally we all forget something, however some folks seem to be a bit more "forgetful" than others. I find it to be a statement of their priorities.
