Is Strega similar to yellow chartreuse?
Flavorwise, Strega is most similar to Yellow Chartreuse with its honey-like richness. It's a bit less medicinal and intensely herbal than Yellow Chartreuse with a lighter mouthfeel, all factors that make it quite versatile for mixing and less dominant.
Is Strega like Galliano?
Both are Italian herb liqueurs. Strega is very minty and citrus forward, while Galliano tastes like vanilla and anise and so much more. They are strong, rich, and very golden. So I was looking forward to enjoying this cocktail very dry with vodka. Instead, the recipe calls for blending with ice.
Where in Italy is Strega from?
Strega Liqueur, born in Benevento, was created in 1860 by a clever, forward-looking entrepreneur. Strega, obtained by the distillation of about 70 herbs and spices from all over the world, is a whole natural product.
