In Italy, children anticipate their holiday presents not from Santa Claus but from La Befana, depicted as a witch who rides her broom to deliver treats and in turn is offered glasses of wine and plates of sausage. That tradition hasn’t crossed the Atlantic, but a more familiar Italian holiday export is the sweet bread panettone. The panettone, a traditional Milanese Christmas cake, is filled with candied fruit, raisins and occasionally chocolate. This drink’s name is borrowed from the Milanese slang for the cake.
