Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Saint Sidecar

Sugar sprinkles can be any color and are not needed for the cocktail, they are primarily for looks. Recommend Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters.

The Parka (hot toddy)

With hot toddy's often being associated with the cold/flu season, using immune-boosting tea instead of just water was used to help combat the winter weather

Un-Fig-Gettable

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

Southern Winter

Stocking Stuffer

Shake and strain over ice

Dancing Molly

Illy RTD for cold brew. Caffe Lolita coffee liqueur. Five Farms (Kerrygold) Irish Cream

Christmas your way

Santa Cheers

Black Forest Gateau vibes with a hint of vanilla. Can still be enjoyed by Real Ale enthusiasts as it is not overly sweet.

Mary´s Jingle

2,5-7,5 ml lime juice depending on the sweetness of your orange juice (and your taste). In addition, the style/perception of the cocktail changes a lot

Cherry Paloma

Don't stone your cherries, but do use fresh, juicy, and ripe red or black cherries for the best drink. No infusions, cordials or syrups needed. If required,

Call It A (Snow) Day

The richness of cooked cherry in Heering Cherry liqueur serves as a bridge between the spice notes brought by the brandy and cinnamon and the fruitiness

Gingle Bird

The "Gingle Bird" is a riff on the Jungle Bird substituting my favorite spirit, gin. I thought it would be really fun to combine traditional
