Two Thursdays ago, we began the cocktail hour with an interesting Strega drink from the Café Royal Cocktail Book called the Georgia. The drink began with a lemon and herbal aroma that contained an oregano-like note. The sweet, smooth sip yielded a pleasing lemon flavor that led into a botanical-rich swallow with gin and Strega notes. Overall, the Georgia was a lot smoother of a Strega drink than the Berkley Hotel Cocktail perhaps due to the egg white and addition sugar added.
