A splash of Strega makes this Gin & Juice somewhat reminiscent of a Harvey Wallbanger.

If you like a subtle long drink, go for it. For me it was more orange than witch... To be expected. Following Chris and Matt's suggestions, after tasting added 7.5ml Dry Curaçao. Perhaps the sweetness obscured the Strega. 7.5ml lime juice brightened it up but 5ml campari and an additional 5ml lime juice really brought this home for me. Plus the color was more pumpkin than orange.

A good, strong tall drink. Strong, black-peppery flavor from the Strega, somewhat tempered by the botanicals of the gin and the sweet OJ. Pretty boozy. In line with Chris Lowe's suggestion (below) I tried adding some Ferrand's Dry Curacao to add orange flavor - that dramatically reduced the peppery Strega notes - if the peppery notes are too much for you try this mod.

Greetings Matt. Saw your comments on the home page (in real time) and realized I needed to try this. I love Strega! Thank you.
