Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Northern Lass

Based on my fiancé's favourite Christmas flavours of cherry and ginger, I decided to make an elegant drink that looked great. An homage to my partner.

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).

Family reunion, spill the tea

For a higher ABV cocktail, substitute hibiscus tea with hibiscus infused rum. I suggest Wray & Nephew.

Holiday Heering Aid

I like to use the microplane grater and fully grate the lemon I'm juicing. It makes for a much more lemony cocktail, which is a good thing in my book.

Cherrily On High

A slightly tropical iced variation on a classic Tom & Jerry, elevated by Cherry Heering and lime. Simple to make in large batches as a Christmas punch.

Dear Christiana

Dancing Molly

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

Cherrytale of New York

This is Christmas in a glass! Best enjoyed sitting by a crackling fire.

God rest Ye cherry gentlemen

Based on the classic last word cocktail, with Heering cherry liqueur replacing the more usual maraschino liqueur. Vodka, and the lighter yellow chartreuse

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

Ran Out of Tape

I prefer to make my own grenadine: 2 cups of POM grenadine juice 1.5 cups of sugar 1 teaspoon of orange blossom water 2 oz of pomegranate molasses 1
