Every holiday classic deserves a little magic—and the Santa 75 was born from the idea that celebration should feel warmer, richer, and just a touch more nostalgic this time of year. Inspired by the bright, effervescent French 75, this seasonal spin imagines what might happen if Santa himself stepped behind the bar after a long night of deliveries. Out goes the brisk gin, replaced by the deep, wintry elegance of Pliska XO Brandy, and suddenly the cocktail feels less like a toast and more like a tradition.

In the glass, the Santa 75 sparkles with quiet sophistication. Pliska XO Brandy brings notes of dried fruit, honeyed oak, and soft vanilla, lending warmth and depth to every sip. The mulling-spice-and-rosemary–infused syrup blends flavors of clove, cinnamon, and citrus peel. At the same time, fresh rosemary adds an aromatic evergreen lift with each hoist of the glass, turning every sip into a sensory holiday experience.

So, set out the glasses, light a few candles, and let this merry twist on a classic become your go-to holiday toast!
