Cocktail Description
The Strega Sunset brings together the herb-forward complexity of an Italian witch's garden with the approachable ease of an aperitivo.
This golden-hued cocktail balances the saffron and mint notes of Strega liqueur with Crodino's gentle bitterness and subtle orange sweetness, all sharpened by the aromatic depth of Angostura bitters. The first sip delivers a captivating herbal complexity that gradually opens into citrus brightness and a pleasantly bitter finish. Perfect for pre-dinner sipping on warm summer evenings or as a sophisticated low-alcohol option at afternoon gatherings, the Strega Sunset requires no special equipment or techniques—simply pour over ice and stir. Its herbaceous profile pairs beautifully with Mediterranean antipasti, especially marinated olives, aged cheeses, and cured meats, while the bitter elements stimulate the appetite for the meal to come.
