Tips
- Shake hard and long enough to fully integrate the orange juice's body, then strain onto fresh ice.
- Pre-chill the glass so the drink doesn't lose its cold snap the moment it hits the ice-filled Collins glass.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice, not bottled — it keeps the citrus bright rather than flat against the Strega.
