Pour 45ml Spanish brandy and 45ml anisette directly into a brandy snifter.
Stir gently once or twice to combine.
Serve neat at room temperature.
Sol Y Sombra is traditionally served as a built drink - never shaken - so that the two spirits layer and mingle gently rather than fully emulsifying; the slight separation is part of the visual and sensory charm that inspired the 'sun and shadow' name.
