Liquore Strega Original Limited Edition

Liquore Strega is a herbal liqueur from the Campania region in southern Italy, its bright yellow colour and herbal character built from a blend of over seventy carefully selected herbs and spices, including the legendary saffron that gives the liqueur its colour and aroma. The name Strega means witch in Italian, a nod to the mystical story attached to the recipe, and this Original Limited Edition is bottled at 40%.

The nose carries herbs, spices, a hint of saffron and citrus fruits, the palate full bodied and herbal with spicy notes and a slight bitterness, finishing long with a gentle herbal spice. Behind the bar it works as an aromatic, saffron tinged herbal modifier, adding sweet spice and a light bitter edge to a drink. It carries a Strega style sour or a Negroni variation, and takes well to a measure stirred into a spirit forward serve. Serve it neat or over ice as a digestif.
