Dear Christiana

I try to make a link between the cherry liquor and where is come from. For the name Dear Christiana, the freetown, neighbourhood of the Danish capital

Bright and Cheery

I used Roses grenadine to enhance the color, not for flavoring, and Lairds Applejack as the apple brandy, but I am sure calvados would be a good substitute.

Cherry Christmas

Tasting notes: Warming, Bold, Herbaceous

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

Reindeer Games

Add all ingredients (except for club soda) to a shaker. Shake vigorously. Strain into a Collins glass filled with ice. Top with club soda ( 1.5 - 2 oz).

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.

Holy Aroma

Great cocktail after dinner .

Brave

The Cherry Heering and Chartreuse Jaune combo is great, then added Scotch and lemon to create a shaken drink. Done for this very competition only. Prost!

Heering through the grapevine

This Manhattan riff has a split base - rye to complement the cherry flavor and add a bit of spice, and gin, to bring a little bit of herbaceous and juniper

Rudolph Punch

A punch cocktail with the refreshing taste of cherries. It has a rich but refreshing taste without being too sweet.

Burning Down the Mistletoe

First tried garnish with mint, but it smelled like burning plastic when lit.

Merry Crisis

Inspired by the flavors of the German cherry marzipan candies from my childhood, kicked up the with a touch of spice and nuttiness from the added Angostura

Bakewell Sour

Wanting to capture a cherry bakewell, this riff on the amaretto sour was created by Alex Cameron and his partner for the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas

Festive Fling

I could not list them on the Diffords maker, but the use of dates really is essential. That leathery, dried fruit aspect backed by the maraschino and tannin

Cheerful Cherry

The competition inspired me to use this underused liqueur and create a cocktail to get everyone in a holiday spirit.

Cherry Tree Carol

pine-laced spiced cherry-vanilla limeade
