Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Red Comet

Add all ingredients to a mixing tin. Add ice, shake for 5-10 seconds, and then strain into an Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry on

Stocking Stuffer

The tasting notes are chocolate covered cherries with a vanilla burst.

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.

Cherry Forest Sour

We came across this while creating new cocktails for our bar menu. Our musician loves Jäger so we tried something with this to get him a sour based on

Danish Fizz

Smooth creamy gin with delicate cherry finish. Christmas vibes.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Under the Mistletoe

Cracking a fresh egg should result in 3/4oz to 1 oz, but if measuring Aquafaba, start with 3/4oz and increase to 1oz if that's more you desired foaminess!

Cherry Cordial Cocktail

Created for the Cherry Heering cocktail contest. I love the flavor of the cherry cordials you get during the holidays. This cocktail invokes all of those

Cheerful Cherry

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

Awilda Noel

For fans of Old Fashioned and Manhattans but using completely different ingredients. A nice after dinner sipper, if I do say so myself.

Cherry Sour Christmas

My after Christmas drink in cold Netherlands looking for a candy tasting cocktail.
