I realize Halloween is still a few months away but I couldn't resist sharing these spooky-sounding cocktails...

Witches Tit Cocktail

Strega: An After-Dinner Drink

Strega (or Liquore Strega), is an Italian herbal liqueur produced since 1860 by the S. A. Distilleria Liquore Strega in Benevento, Campania, Italy. Its yellow color comes from the presence of saffron in its recipe. Liquore Strega is 80 proof (40%). Among its approximately 70 herbal ingredients are mint and fennel. Strega is considered a digestif, meant for drinking after meals.
