Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition
CC Swirl
For me the gin/vermouth give this cocktail the opportunity to be drunk as an aperitif. However the first version of this was drunk while doing the Christmas
Bauble
Bright and vibrant pear and cherry, tempered by herbal complexity and a little citrus zing.
Where Treetops Glisten
My imagination. A variation of a Christmas cocktail I created for my restaurant's seasonal craft cocktail menu.
Piedmontese
Notes of cherry, blood orange, tea, herbs, and smoke, just like the Barolo that inspires it. Tannic and full bodied.
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
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.
CCC (Christmas Cherry Cola)
Created in my kitchen to serve as a refreshing, low ABV beverage enjoyed during holiday afternoons.
Chocolate Cherry Manhattan
Stir all ingredients over ice for 20-30 seconds.
Cerise Céleste
This cocktail is to be served ice cold and sipped slowly
Wake Up Santa
Navy Gin combined with Heering Cherry is MAGIC. Optional spicy bitters (which add a lovely lift to the finish) are available at drinks shops or online.
Fruit of Bethlehem
Delightfully dark, off-sweet, and slightly fruity! A fun and accessible cocktail for anyone who wishes to make it.
Red Velvet
Cherries & berries with added fizz
Crimson Cheering
The Crimson Cheering is a sensory delight, offering a symphony of flavors. The cherry Heering adds a luscious sweetness, complemented by the robust warmth
Red Symphonie
Mix it together +2 dashes chocolate bitters , hart shacke about 10 sec. And dopple strain (fain strain) into the nick&nora
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).
Kiss Me Under the Cherry Tree
While testing out different recipes, I kept coming back to this one. In December, I got engaged and my fiance rarely drinks but loves an espresso martini
