Film reference[edit]

I recall a 1930s syle movie in which Strega was a key memory for a "couple" in an enigmatic affair. It was a "madelaine" in later episodes of the film- any ideas.

I found this request when I was trying to research the same thing. Black and white American film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.114.217 (talk) 13:05, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cold?[edit]

Is it most often drunk cold or on ice? Or neat, at room temperature? Badagnani 23:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"The Witch"[edit]

The liqueur is sometimes called "the witch" in the English-speaking world.

I'm not an expert, but I've got 20 years in fancy cocktail land in NYC and I've never heard this. Is it a UK thing? --Laerm (talk) 18:44, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As your fellow New Yorker, I’ll note that under Jim Meehan’s direction, Please Don’t Tell used Strega is numerous cocktails with ‘Witch’ in the name, and even in the context of those drinks I’ve never heard Jim or anyone else call Strega itself ‘the witch’. Even if it is a regional nickname, it really doesn’t need mentioning beyond the earlier statement about meaning in Italian. If you want to remove or improve that sentence, you have my support. —jameslucas ^{▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄} 19:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I remember witches in cocktail names but not as a nickname of the stuff itself. I've removed it, it seemed reasonable. Thanks for your support. --Laerm (talk) 05:21, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Recipe[edit]

  The Recipe section reads like marketing copy. hmmm...

Hello I'm Simona ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Simona_Chiu) a student in the course Heritage Studies and ICT and I'm contributing to articles about municipalities, territories and heritage in the frame of Wikipedia:GLAM/UNIBG/Heritage studies and ICT. Here's the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/UNIBG/Heritage_studies_and_ICT. I added the section of the recipe because on Italian official website of 'Liquore Strega' it is present and even if it would be difficult to be reproduced at home, it is interesting to know how the liqueur is prepared. I added also a picture of the torroncino (nougat) that I copied from the Italian Wikipedia page https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquore_Strega.

The "Recipe" section was pasted from a translation of the reference, so I removed that section. Link to see the translation:
