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.
St Nick's Pudding
I was tasked to create a Christmas cocktail in the bar I work at and I used memories of my childhood as inspiration. As a child I used to bake Christmas
Tentoumushi
