History

Spirit-forward with baking spice and bitterness. As the name implies, a great winter nightcap.

This drink is an adaptation of a recipe created in 2011 by Chris Hannah at Arnaud's French 75 Bar in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is named in homage to Frank Sinatra's "The Christmas Waltz," which was recorded by Sinatra in 1954 and released as the B-side to "White Christmas."
