History

This cocktail was created for Christmas 2024: the bakery at my favorite premium hotel released a Christmas cake. The cake was a chocolate cake with vanilla flavoring with white chocolate-covered cherries. I wanted to recreate this taste, and after a few attempts, I finally succeeded, using my favorite cocktail, 'the 20th Century', as a base.

It may be quite different from the flavors Westerners associate with Christmas, but it’s intuitively delicious.
