The Ammazzacaffè is a funny way to indicate any liquor drunk after coffee. The name is due to the will of eliminate the savour of coffee with a starker taste. Generally drunk after dinner or lunch, it is usually sipped – and necessary!! to digest after a rich meal, above all during Festivities.
Typical Ammazzacaffè in Campania is certainly Limoncello, in Sardinia is Mirto.

Hi Breezy, I'm currently not in Campania, I can't help you with so detailed info. I think you have just to search liqueur sellers, as they are usually sold in bottles of particular shapes. With liqueur inside is better :)
