Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Heer's to You

This cocktail is meant to be a flip version of a coquito recipe. Madeira is used in many family recipes for the holidays and rum, madeira, and cherry herring

Danish Healer

Sweet flavour of cherry intertwined with the herbal undertones of sage and Chartreuse, made festive with champagne.

Cheery Jules

Lime on the nose with the vermouth leading. Lime and cherry mingle joyfully in the middle before the Chartreuse provides a dry, bracing, herbal finish.

Sour Cherry Negroni

I introduced this recipe in early 2019, and since then, it has been proven to be a booming serve in any bar menu I develop. It is a very successful riff

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.

Cherries in the Snow

Inspired by the iconic Cherries in the Snow dessert as well as the "mini beer" shot featuring Licor 43 and heavy cream, this shot was designed

Christmas your way

It has a slight sweet sherbet flavour when mixed with normal Japanese gin (I use Roku Gin). Replace the gin for Shiraz gin to make it even more velvety

Holy Aroma

Great cocktail after dinner .

Mrs Greaves

Do not substitute the vanilla dusting for extract as it will overpower the drink, as will adding maraschino juice that will also over power the balance

God Rest You Cherry, Gentlemen

A cognac-led sipper with hints of Remember the Maine, the sweetness tamed by extra dry vermouth and a judicious nip of bitter Cynar.

Merry Cherry aka Feliz Cereza

The recipe's been created for this competition, over couple days at my place. It's a must to use quality tequila that tastes like agave, otherwise

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

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

Run Run Rudolph!

This cocktail is based off of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. My name is Rodolfo and I get that reference almost every Christmas. Cherry Herring is vital

Snow Angel

Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less Velvet Falernum or Orgeat Syrup. Price: £18

Cherry Christmas Cake

I love rich Christmas spices and a warming dram in the winter. My dad (who does not have a sweet tooth, also likes a dram) does have a great love of cherries
