What is Strega Liquore?

Strega Liquore is a vibrant, golden-hued Italian herbal liqueur with a complex flavor profile that includes saffron, juniper, and mint. Interestingly, its name means "witch" in Italian, stemming from a legend that the recipe was created by witches in the city of Benevento, known as the "City of Witches" due to its historical association with pagan rituals and mysterious gatherings.

Why do we love Strega Liquore?

Strega Liquore stands out as a unique Italian herbal liqueur, not a rum, that captivates cocktail enthusiasts with its complex blend of 70 herbs and spices, including saffron which gives it its distinctive yellow hue. Its name, meaning "witch" in Italian, nods to the liqueur's legendary origins in the Benevento region, where it's said to have been created by witches, adding an intriguing mystique to this versatile spirit that can elevate both classic and contemporary cocktails.

How do you drink Strega Liquore?

Strega Liquore, with its complex herbal profile and vibrant yellow hue, shines when sipped neat as a digestif or served on the rocks during warm summer evenings.

Nose: Herbal and citrusy aromas dominate. Mint and fennel notes stand out, accompanied by hints of saffron and cinnamon. A subtle vanilla sweetness lingers in the background.

Finish: Long and warming. Spice notes of cinnamon and saffron become more pronounced. The herbal character persists, with fennel and mint leaving a refreshing aftertaste. A slight bitterness reminiscent of gentian root adds depth.

Strega Liquore is crafted using a secret blend of 70 herbs and spices, including saffron which gives it its distinctive yellow color. The mixture is distilled and then aged in ash barrels for several months, allowing the complex flavors to meld and develop before bottling.

      Fantastic Digestif

      Perhaps it is just nostalgia, but this reminds me of the small family Italian restaurant we used to go to in Stuttgart where a small glass of this, ramazzotti or limoncello came at the end of the meal. It is a beautiful way to end a meal and listen to music and talk with friends and family. More than a flavor, it is an experience with a nice mix of herbs that are not overpowering, a nice balance of sweet vs dry and a unique taste. Highly recommended.
