History

Our family traditionally goes from Germany to Denmark for Christmas vacation in a holiday home at the north sea coast. This very special week is characterized by good food, lots of laughter and fun and lots of good cocktails. In addition to Gammeldansk and Jubilæums Akvavit, the Heering Cherry Liqueur is our most loved travel companion. In anticipation of our vacation in Denmark this year, it was a great pleasure for us to mix the "Snowpenhagen" and we love it - many have already flowed down our throats. Skål og god jul!

Review

If you like it a little stronger and fruitier, you should swap the white light rum with a stronger rhum agricole, e.g. the 50% Clément, matched very well with the Clément Coconut Liqueur as well with the sweet and fruity Heering.

Fruity and easy drinking. The coconut is an unexpected match with the cherry and cranberry. A bit sweet, a drop of bitters and saline seemed to round it out.

I was very pleased to discover I had the exact ingredients for this, and even more pleased when I tried it. It's very sweet (my cranberry juice may be at fault), but the fruit is a nice complement to the sweetness and it really is quite Christmasy. Overall a very nice drink.
