Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

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.

The Vast Bird

A drink for all those cooking massive turkeys, The Vast Bird is a festive riff on The Last Word. I have always loved the equal parts format of The Last

XOXO, Santa

Just a little muddle, just enough to break the cloves and cherry into the bottom of the shaker glass. Double strain is important to get all the clove pieces

Peanut butter and Jelly Old Fashioned

This seriously tastes just like a Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich from your childhood!

Cherry Christmas

Tasting notes: Warming, Bold, Herbaceous

My Cherry Amour

Flavor profile is reminiscent of Christmas fruitcake, raisins from the cognac, candied citrus from the lemon and orange juice, Cherries from the 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.

Black Forest

Notes of jam, fresh berries, butterscotch and desert wine. Almost acts as a desert wine itself! Tip: Eat the chocolate in-between sips, it's part

One day to day one

Cherry flavour would be the first tastes to notice with a subtle citrus and botanicals from the Roku gin. Coffee and hazelnut liqueur will lingers with

The Herbal Remedy

The drink has a lot of intensity and complexity whilst remaining perfectly balanced. This drink has the cherry flavour on the forefront whilst providing

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.
