So strong. It has the saffron as main color. Once again I went for my Monkey 47. And the flavour is so complex, so full of colour. Is a cocktail laughing all the way since born of the shaker. The Strega, the Jaggermeister, playing instead of the Chartreuses -apocaliptic prized- I liked. Want to explore further the Strega, I think I love it even more than my yellow chartreuse.

Despite my undying love for Strega (and the redheaded witch on the old box art), it’s just not that amazing. Maybe too much lime juice - perhaps those increasing the gin are on to something.

Ambrosia!
Perfect with 2 shots of gin as suggested below. Diluted with half a shot of water while using dry ice.

Nice to have a Last Word alternative in this age of Chartreuse shortages. Excellent recipe!

We enjoyed this as much, if not more than the Last Word! We tried this version, enjoyed it. Then we tried it with 2 oz. of gin, and preferred it. We felt it was more balanced, tastier, and had a lighter taste overall.

I really enjoy a Last Word, but to my own surprise, I have to say that this is markedly better than the Chartreuse version (and much, much better than an equal-parts Chartreuse version). I predict that most of my bottle of Strega will go towards this recipe.
