Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Tripple Cherry Fizz

I created this recipe in October 2023 to be served in the bar where I work during the Festive season.

Sonder

. When I think of Christmas, I think of my late grandad, I think of him digging through a box of heroes chocolates, I think of him putting a little too

Santas Spritz

For best results use a sloe gin with strong aromatic, and almond flavours, such as Elephant Sloe Gin. If using a more fruity and less aromatic sloe gin,

Blood and Santa

Riff on Blood and Sand- sort off.

Heer's to You

This cocktail is meant to be a flip version of a coquito recipe. Madeira is used in many family recipes for the holidays and rum, madeira, and cherry herring

Bakewell Sour

Wanting to capture a cherry bakewell, this riff on the amaretto sour was created by Alex Cameron and his partner for the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas

Kutia
