Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Ran Out of Tape

I prefer to make my own grenadine: 2 cups of POM grenadine juice 1.5 cups of sugar 1 teaspoon of orange blossom water 2 oz of pomegranate molasses 1

Porto Twist

Accessible, fruity, and surprisingly refreshing.

Spiced Cherry Sour

I just really enjoy cherry and lime flavors together, and wanted the spices of the rum and falernum for more of a holiday taste.

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 weather

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

Cheering in the Rye

One of my favorite Christmas desserts is a Black Forest Trifle which includes Heering Cherry Liquor. I wanted to play off those flavors to create a twist

Tomte (Scandinavian Santa)

Inspired by the Scandinavian origin of cherry Heering- taste of place and season

Holy Aroma

Great cocktail after dinner .

Danish Fizz

Smooth creamy gin with delicate cherry finish. Christmas vibes.

Resting Grinch Face

I wanted a refreshing cocktail with Cherry Heering. Since this liqueur is very sweet, no other sweeteners were added. The Aperol and lime juice bring down

Cherry on Top

Take your time with this one. Ideally sitting in front of an open fire with friends and family around you. Merry Christmas! The bottle of Cherry Heering

Merry Cherry Christmas

You don't need to add the egg white as it doesn't adjust the flavour here, so this can be substituted for a vegan alternative like Aquafaba.

Sleigh Me!

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

Chorus Girl

I like to make Chorus Girl with the less common Cocchi Dopo Teatro, but I'm sure the standard Cocchi Torino would be fine.

Awilda Noel

For fans of Old Fashioned and Manhattans but using completely different ingredients. A nice after dinner sipper, if I do say so myself.

Putting all together the Christmas elements and flavors and turning into a cocktail
