Description

The Mistletoe & Wine is a Christmas cocktail that was created in 2022 by Alex Sukopp, former bartender of Sips From Scripts, for a Secret Santa challenge. For the 2022 round, the goal was to design a recipe that was inspired by the Christmas song of choice, and "Mistletoe & Wine" by Cliff Richard was selected as a nod to the Secret Santa's profession of sommelier in Louisville, Kentucky. The drink uniquely pairs a whiskey and dark red port wine base with maple, Amaro Braulio, and nutty bitters to make a creamy dessert template.
