History

Many of us came up with the obvious switch of Yellow Chartreuse in a Naked & Famous to create this cocktail, but in September 2025, our friends at Strega came up with the "Rich Witch & Famous" name.

Review

A Naked & Famous with Strega ("witch" in Italian) liqueur replacing Yellow Chartreuse.

AKA: Naked Witch Finds Fame

Variations/similar cocktails

Served on the rocks, with the same ingredients, this becomes a Sunshine No. 3. Tasty cocktail, but with a comparatively dull name!

Did the nam of the cocktail get changed since I made it last night?

Simon Difford 10 months ago

Yes, see "Unfortunate name" conversation below. Our friends at Strega came up with the "Rich Witch and Famous" name. Much better than my previous "Naked Witch Finds Fame".

Gareth Hives 10 months ago

come on people, we're grown adults drinking alcohol to presumably relax and put a smile on our faces. Naked Witch Finds Fame is a much better name and a conversation starter right there.

Due to a lack of Yellow Chartreuse, I developed this recipe months ago.😉

Tasty drink. Unfortunate name. Maybe Bruja Roja?

Also good with tequila, which would be more palatable to a wider audience.

Our friends at Strega have come up with the brilliant name Rich Witch and Famous.

Not seeing this on the Strega Cocktails you can make list.( Love it though no matter what it's called.)

I uh, do not think using 90g of saline solution would make a good drink :)

Paloma Difford 10 months ago

uh oh, Friday brain in action...Simon has fixed it. Should be 3 drops of saline solution. Thanks for letting us know Avery.
