Myth's Notes
It's valuable to go through one's papes and notebooks every so often. The five recipies above were actually part of a much longer handout that I got at a workshop at Free Spirit Gathering, then called Free Spirit Festival, in either 1986 or 1987.
It was a collection of recipies and herbal info. At the time, I hadn't heard of Liquore Strega and was unfamiliar with the Italian word, strega, at all. These were very clearly fun recipies that were alcoholic beverages "for festivals and other festive occasions." I didn't understand why these cocktails were called, "Witche" until I went through my papers again in 2015.
