White Christmas Rum & Brandy
White Christmas Rum & Brandy is a 60 proof (30% ABV), 750mL blend of rum and brandy — a balanced, festive spirit created by the San Francisco-based Haas Brothers in the mid-20th century. Despite the snowy name, it is not a cream liqueur: it is a straightforward rum-and-brandy blend the brand positions for Hot Toddies, Tom & Jerry cocktails, spiked eggnog, or simply straight and over ice. A venerated San Francisco holiday spirit since the 1950s, it gained a loyal following in the Pacific Northwest and is now enjoyed year-round. Order online from Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

A San Francisco Holiday Tradition
White Christmas dates to 1950s San Francisco, where the Haas Brothers bottled a simple idea: rum and brandy, blended smooth, dressed in a snowy winter label. It became a Pacific Northwest cold-weather staple before spreading wider — the rare "holiday" bottle that earned its place in the year-round cabinet.

Tasting Notes
Smooth and warming rather than fiery: mellow rum sweetness meets brandy's dried-fruit depth, with a gentle, rounded finish. At 60 proof it is built for sipping and mixing rather than shooting — the blend drinks softer than either spirit alone.
How to Enjoy
In a Hot Toddy with honey, lemon, and hot water; in a Tom & Jerry or spiked eggnog at the holidays; or simply over ice. It is an easy upgrade to any cold-weather cocktail that calls for brandy or dark rum.
