Another winner from Jeffrey Morganthaler! I don't think I've had a bad recipe from him. His Flannel Shirt and Norwegian Wood cocktails are great fall drinks too.
Glad I hung out till I had a bottle of Strega- it’s subtle but really makes this. Truly autumnal flavours. I’d be tempted to flame the orange twist next time to suggest bonfires. Could also potentially work with cognac… thinking of my recently acquired bottle of Courvoisier vsop which is quite spicy and looking for some suitable friends to mix with… !
What a glorious drink! Made it in the most inappropriate of seasons (early Spring) but gave me great satisfaction all the same. This will become a favourite evening go-to!
Tried this for the second time. The first time we made this we used Yellow Chartreuse rather than Strega as we did not have a bottle of the latter. We liked the cocktail quite a lot that first time but I think this second time with Strega is even better-spicier, not as honey sweet, a tad more interesting. We'll be adding this to our favourites.
