Witches Brew

Not quite literally a witches brew, but Strega means witch in Italian

  • Ice cubes
  • 1 1/2 ounces Strega
  • 1/2 ounce white Crème de menthe
  • 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/4 ounce Pernod
  • Lemon slice for garnish
  • Fresh mint sprig
 

Method

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway full with ice cubes.  Add the Strega, Crème de menthe, lemon juice, and orange juice. Shake well.

Strain into a cocktail glass.  Float the Pernod on top, pouring it carefully over the back of a spoon if necessary.  Garnish with the lemon slice and mint sprig.  Drink with a cackle and while wearing a tall black hat.
