Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Cherry Merrimint

Thought of it when competion was sent to me.

Call It A (Snow) Day

The richness of cooked cherry in Heering Cherry liqueur serves as a bridge between the spice notes brought by the brandy and cinnamon and the fruitiness

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

Cherrily On High

A slightly tropical iced variation on a classic Tom & Jerry, elevated by Cherry Heering and lime. Simple to make in large batches as a Christmas punch.

Run Run Rudolph!

This cocktail is based off of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. My name is Rodolfo and I get that reference almost every Christmas. Cherry Herring is vital

The Vixen

Evoking chocolate and orange takes me back to my childhood days in London, enjoying Jaffa cakes by the fire. Additionally, the clove studded orange garnish

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 Paloma

Don't stone your cherries, but do use fresh, juicy, and ripe red or black cherries for the best drink. No infusions, cordials or syrups needed. If required,

Cherry Fog Nog

If there are two drinks which remind me of Christmas, they're Egg Nog and the holiday London Fog from my local cafe. Rather than the typical Earl Grey,

Northern Lass

Based on my fiancé's favourite Christmas flavours of cherry and ginger, I decided to make an elegant drink that looked great. An homage to my partner.

Snow Angel

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

Do You Heer What I Heer

A somewhat boozy cocktail with hint of smoke, cherry sweetness and holiday spice. My preferred mezcal is Bozal Tobasiche which has some earthy and chocolaty

It's not mulled wine?

Smoky with a cherry fruit back drop Vermouth adds depth and gives length

Mary´s Jingle

2,5-7,5 ml lime juice depending on the sweetness of your orange juice (and your taste). In addition, the style/perception of the cocktail changes a lot

Cheery G.O.A.T.

The Cheery G.O.A.T. was inspired by Cherry Heering's origin country of Denmark and my own Scandinavian Heritage. Growing up we would decorate our tree

Stained Lips

This is a booze forward cocktail so proper dilution is key.
