The shaken cocktail Betty’s White Christmas was created by La Trattoria Tuscano Manager Clay Alling for a November drink competition. He spent three days crafting it.
“I was [experimenting] with drinks for a Bartender Shootout in The Woodlands,” Alling said. “It is all vodka-based drinks that are unique that aren’t your typical drinks.”
The drink is made with vanilla and espresso-infused Dripping Springs vodka. Cream is poured on top, and the drink is topped with cherries, espresso beans and a cinnamon stick.

The tribute to Betty White stems from Alling’s love for the veteran actress.
