We’ve chosen Italian brand Strega liqueur ($40.00 per 750 mL bottle) for our cocktails. This herbal spirit has a distinctive yellow color (due to the presence of saffron) and a sweetness and viscosity that you might not expect from an 80 proof (40% alc/vol) digestif. Strega includes around 70 herbal ingredients, two of which are mint and fennel, giving it confierous notes a complex flavor.
To create this bewitching cocktail, you will need the following ingredients:
Pour the Strega, grapefruit cordial, and lemon juice into a shaker with ice cubes, then pour the mixture into a glass full of ice and fill with grapefruit soda. Garnish with basil and orange before serving.
Before we get to cocktail #2, be sure to check out our picks for Things to Do for Halloween in Miami. It’s filled with some of the best seasonal offerings from incredible local restaurants.
To whip up this second Strega-based concoction, you will need:
Pour the Strega, vodka, agave, and pineapple juice into a shaker with ice cubes. Shake and strain into your martini glass. Add the Fee foam and enjoy!
