Just as the name promises, this tall superbly refreshing cocktail delivers intense zesty citrus but is balanced and quaffable. A drink for a scorching hot summer's afternoon.

Two Hands, One Drink 5y

As a devout lover of Strega, I had to give this lovely gin and citrus mix with a touch of Strega a shot. The drink is quite good, and I enjoyed it, but the thing that messed it up was the Strega and dry gin interaction. They didn't play particularly well together, though to be fair, I used a London Dry Gin in my test. But then I tried again with the softer, sweeter Old Tom Gin, and it was really great!

A little sweet, but good balance. I gave it 4-stars. After trying did a dark rum float (being a big rum drinker) and it was worth a 5. Not as sweet and still good balance.
