Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

San-ta-hattan

My own creation, that I and my friends really enjoy.

The cherry on the cake

Can be enjoyed by itself at anytime of the year but preferably paired with cake for Christmas! (Especially if the cake is a chocolate one)

Cherry Nola

I was experimenting with creating a Cola flavoured cocktail, without using Cola, and stumbled upon a very nice Cherry Cola (or rather Cherry with No-Cola

Holiday Heering Aid

I like to use the microplane grater and fully grate the lemon I'm juicing. It makes for a much more lemony cocktail, which is a good thing in my book.

Snow Angel

Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less Velvet Falernum or Orgeat Syrup. Price: £18

Sleigh Me!

A riff on the sidecar and cable car using cherry heering.

Dear Christiana

I try to make a link between the cherry liquor and where is come from. For the name Dear Christiana, the freetown, neighbourhood of the Danish capital

The Second Christmas

Tasting note - Sweet, Tart, Festive

Rudolph's Wonderland

For a winter solstice / Christmas cocktail I wanted to take this beautifully rich-sweet Heering Cherry Liquor (my father always called it Cherry Herring

Cherry Tradewinds Negroni

This is variation of the Tradewinds Negroni, which is spicy and punchy due to the amount of bitters. Here the sweetness of the cherry balances the bitters.

Cherie Cyn

I made this as a surprise holiday cocktail for my wife, Cynthia, this Christmas as a riff on a Boulevardier, her favorite winter drink.

Cloves Fields Forever

A relax herbal experience perfect when its cold outside but your heart is warm around your loved ones.

Crimson Cheering

The Crimson Cheering is a sensory delight, offering a symphony of flavors. The cherry Heering adds a luscious sweetness, complemented by the robust warmth

Xmas Bakewell Tart

Favourite cake.

Two Red Roses & a Cucumber in a Cherry Tree

To further accentuate this cocktail, use any gin that contains lime, rose and/or cucumber as one of its' botanicals. Cucumber slices are cut a 1/4 inch

Santa Cheers

Black Forest Gateau vibes with a hint of vanilla. Can still be enjoyed by Real Ale enthusiasts as it is not overly sweet.
