Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition
Gean it laldy
I created this first using Glenfiddich 12 yo, but decided a more robust blended scotch with a slight hint of peaty smoke works best (e.g. Black Bottle).
The Cheer-a-key
I have a signature "Cherry Key Lime Pie Cocktail" that I created that tastes exactly like a Key-lime Pie with graham cracker crust topped with
Cherry Christmas Cake
I love rich Christmas spices and a warming dram in the winter. My dad (who does not have a sweet tooth, also likes a dram) does have a great love of cherries
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.

A very pleasant treat of a cocktail! Cherry, chocolate and a hint of mint work very well with the warm spice and light smoke from the bourbon.
Cherry Shakewell
I've always been partial to a Cherry Bakewell Tart! This is more like a dessert cocktail with the sweetness tempered slightly by the egg white, that

Xmas Bakewell Tart
Favourite cake.
Bakewell Sour

This cocktail was developed for "Sleigh Shed," a holiday cocktail pop up at "The Train Shed" in St. Louis, MO in 2022.

pine-laced spiced cherry-vanilla limeade
Catskill
The Catskill is an American-international cocktail. The bourbon and maple make it American. The Herring Cherry Liqueur brings a distinctive, delicious
Chai Hard
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
12th Overnight
Sweet milk punch with a velvety mouthfeel, tarty background and rich cherry aftertaste. Brandy de Jerez and popcorn create a delicious pastry palate, balanced
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.
God rest Ye cherry gentlemen
Based on the classic last word cocktail, with Heering cherry liqueur replacing the more usual maraschino liqueur. Vodka, and the lighter yellow chartreuse
