What’s up my witches! We give you the “Curse of the Witch”---a delightfully spooky cocktail that will send chills down your spine. Your tastebuds will tingle from the savory/sweet monster mash-up of Garam Masala and Star Anise. Frothy egg white sings a ghostly tune, and Strega (literally Italian for witch) liqueur will enchant you with its magical elixir of mint, juniper, and fennel. One taste of this potion will have you under its spicy spell.
