I like Andre's suggestion of a teaspoon of agave. I found this tasted like a herbal lemonade and I would not dream of reducing the Strega. It could use a touch of extra sweetness and perhaps some soda or grapefruit soda topper in a Collins instead. As the recipe is, it's rather too dry for me. But its top notes are appealing.

I came here from the corpse reviver 0824, the tequila brings power to a gentle beverage. Even when is not a kick in the eye. I don't feel it in the family of the margaritas, Maybe because of the lack of salt, and the predominant flavor of the strega. Interesting.

This was great. Tasted like a lemon meringue tarte. Would definitely do again, but may dial back the Strega a bit or increase the tequila. Wonderful.
