Whether you lean toward something bright and refreshing or rich and spirit-forward, there’s a drink here with your name on it. Here are our favorite cocktails to order at Strega!
Strega’s Espresso Martini
If you appreciate a cocktail that doubles as dessert, this one belongs at the top of your list. Strega’s Espresso Martini blends vanilla vodka with house-brewed espresso, then rounds it out with Baileys and Frangelico. The result is smooth, velvety, and beautifully balanced—rich enough to satisfy, with a hazelnut warmth from the Frangelico that lingers pleasantly.
It’s the ideal way to cap off a meal, or to kick off an evening when you want a little extra energy in your glass.
Bad Berry
Don’t let the name fool you—this cocktail is anything but. The Bad Berry pairs GrandTen Gin with fresh blueberry purée, a touch of ginger liqueur, and a lift of Prosecco. Each sip is fruity and vibrant, with a gentle spice from the ginger and a lively sparkle to finish.
It’s crisp, refreshing, and endlessly easy to enjoy. If you like your cocktails on the brighter side, this one rarely disappoints.
Spicy Paloma
For those who enjoy a little heat with their citrus, the Spicy Paloma is a standout. Jalapeño tequila brings the kick, while St. Germain adds a delicate floral sweetness. Grapefruit juice and fresh lime keep things tart and bright, and a splash of club soda gives it a clean, effervescent finish.
The balance here is what makes it special. The spice is present but never overwhelming, making this a refreshing choice with real character.
Nico’s Paradise
True to its name, this cocktail transports you straight to somewhere warm and sunny. Nico’s Paradise combines spiced rum with peach schnapps, pineapple juice, and a drizzle of grenadine. It’s tropical, smooth, and just sweet enough, with the grenadine lending a lovely color and a subtle depth.
Consider this your go-to when you’re in the mood to unwind and treat yourself to a little escape.
Raspberry Limoncello Spritz
Bright, bubbly, and beautifully simple, the Raspberry Limoncello Spritz is a celebration in a glass. It starts with Triple 8 Raspberry Vodka, layers in classic limoncello for a burst of lemon, and tops everything with Prosecco for a crisp, sparkling finish.
The berry-and-citrus combination is refreshing without being too sweet. This is the cocktail we recommend for toasting good news—or simply a good night out.
Varano’s Manhattan
For those who favor a classic, spirit-forward cocktail, Varano’s Manhattan is a refined choice. It features GrandTen Whiskey, Averna, sweet vermouth, and a few dashes of Angostura bitters. The Averna adds a distinctive layer of bittersweet complexity that sets this Manhattan apart from the standard.
Smooth, sophisticated, and confidently balanced, it’s a drink that rewards those who appreciate craftsmanship in every pour.
Passionfruit Mojito
Rounding out our favorites is the Passionfruit Mojito, a tropical twist on the beloved classic. Mojito rum meets rich passionfruit purée, fresh lime, and plenty of muddled mint. The mint keeps it crisp and cooling, while the passionfruit brings a tangy, exotic sweetness.
It’s refreshing, aromatic, and the kind of cocktail that makes any evening feel a bit more like a getaway.
