Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

It was created for the company Christmas menu, then when it finally reached my hands I messed around with it swapped a few things around and perfected

McGarry

Based on the Vanessa Polk, which I submitted to the Guide last year. (The name refers to the barman of the Drones Club in P. G. Wodehouse.)

Cherry Ripe Manhattan

The flavour profile of the cocktail is complex and deep, with three different and remarkable waves of flavours: The first is Dry due to presence of Cognac

Grocer's Elixir

Grocer's Elixir is inspired by Christmas from London's busiest borough market! As we all know, Peter F Heering was a young businessman trading

Snow Angel

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

My way

Eye of the storm

The rich cherry and nutty flavours of the Cherry Heering layer in perfectly with the spices of the Allspice Dram, spicy vanilla notes from Bulleit bourbon

The Parka (hot toddy)

With hot toddy's often being associated with the cold/flu season, using immune-boosting tea instead of just water was used to help combat the winter

Cordial Invitation

Thought about how to best accentuate the mint characteristics in this rye whiskey and wanted to work with cherry heering more. I immediately thought of

It's a Wonderful Libation

Holiday Flip inspired by Heering Cherry Liqueur and my favorite Christmas movie.
