Review

Inspired by the witch on a broomstick on the label of Monkey 47's mint sauce and honey edition (Strega is Italian for witch) and named with a thought to British pub names.

I don't have a honey/mint gin. Made mine with 8:1 Tanqueray to Tempus Fugit white creme de menthe and that's plenty mint flavor. Overall flavor had a fresh green herbal bent. If and when I make this again, I would make it the same way, but use Barr Hill Gin from VT, which has a heavy honey tone to it. It sounds sublime. Such a delicious, distinct gin. I feel like a fresh balsamic-laden tomato and feta salad would go splendidly with it.

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
