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.
