Found on the spice shelf of many grocery stores, Star Anise is used in traditional Thai and Vietnamese dishes. I picked up a large bottle at our local Thai supermarket down the street and what a lovely and fragrant compliment it made to this subtly understated yet spicy champagne cocktail! I find it especially festive during the holidays as it looks like a Bethlehem star and smells a little like licorice!
