Cocktail Description
Strega's Pineapple Charm is what happens when Italian witchcraft meets tropical sunshine in a glass.
This bright yellow cocktail combines the herbal complexity of Strega liqueur (with its saffron-forward blend of 70 herbs and spices) with the sweet acidity of fresh pineapple juice, creating a fascinating dance between botanical depth and fruit-forward freshness. The Limoncello adds a zesty citrus punch while the grenadine provides subtle pomegranate sweetness and a touch of color. With just a dash of Angostura bitters to round everything out, this cocktail delivers complex layers that unfold with each sip—herbaceous on the front, tropical in the middle, and finishing with a spiced warmth. It's surprisingly easy to make despite its sophisticated flavor profile, requiring just a vigorous shake and fine strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Perfect for spring and summer afternoon gatherings or as an aperitif before a Mediterranean dinner, this cocktail pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, herb-roasted chicken, or a cheese board featuring aged Parmigiano-Reggiano and fresh goat cheese.
