Cocktails with Liquore Strega
Description
Liquore Strega is an Italian herbal liqueur from Benevento, dating back to 1860. It is made with about 70 botanicals, including saffron, mint, and fennel, giving it a bright yellow color and complex aromatic profile. Traditionally, it has been used as a digestif and in desserts. Its unique blend makes it both sweet and herbal, lending itself well to creative cocktails. Strega has a high alcohol content, so a little goes a long way. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain its aromatic qualities.
Taste
Sweet, herbal, slightly spicy.
Usage
Sip neat as a digestif or mix into sours, highballs, and herbal cocktails. Can also enhance whiskey or gin-based drinks for added complexity.
