This herbal, but sweet liqueur from Benevento Italy is said to contain about 70 herbs and spices. And while the full recipe is a closely guarded secret, we know that it includes cinnamon, iris, Italian juniper, mint, fennel and saffron (which gives it its yellow hue).
Why we love it
Let's begin with the intriguing name - Liquor of the Witch. Its bright yellow hue, derived from saffron, adds a mystical touch to the back bar, resembling a magical witches' brew. But beyond its enchanting qualities, we adore this classic spirit as a perfect nightcap after a meal, enjoying a dram in our double espresso, playfully hinting at being under the witches' spell. A delightful treat indeed!
