About this product
Italy’s Golden Elixir Since 1860.
Strega is one of Italy’s most iconic liqueurs – a luminous golden spirit crafted in the town of Benevento, Campania, where legend tells of witches (or streghe) gathering under moonlight. Since 1860, it has been made to the same secret recipe of around 70 herbs and spices sourced from around the world – from Mediterranean myrtle and fennel to rare saffron, which gives Strega its distinctive golden hue.
The result is a complex, aromatic liqueur that is at once herbal, floral, and gently sweet, with layers that unfold on the palate. In Ireland, Strega is enjoyed both as a digestif and as an elegant twist in cocktails, bringing a touch of Italian magic to any glass. Its rich history, artisanal production, and unmistakable flavour make it a bottle worth savouring – and a true conversation starter.
Why we love it:
There’s nothing quite like Strega. The balance of herbs and spices creates a profile that’s warming yet refreshing, familiar yet mysterious. It’s as comfortable served neat after dinner as it is in a refined cocktail. In Ireland, we love how it can lift a simple serve into something unforgettable – a splash in prosecco, a dash in coffee, or a classic Strega Sour. This is liquid tradition with a sprinkle of enchantment.
