Stroopwafel Flip is the cocktail we imagine Kris Kringle would enjoy after his whirlwind toy delivery around the globe. Can’t you hear Mrs. Claus greeting him with a glass in her hand upon his return: “I’ll bet you need your flip now dear, don’t you?”
We’ve been having a little fun creating cocktails inspired by some of our favorite Christmas films and tv specials. This Dutch-influenced quaff came to us because of the Sinterklaasje song Kris Kringle chants to a little Dutch girl early on in Miracle on 34th Street. This holiday classic makes our watch list every year, perhaps because of its heartwarming message that reminds us, goodness exists in the world if you simply…believe, just like the character played by the very young Natalie Wood learns to.
