Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

I wanted to use the famous and iconic Blood and Sand as an inspiration, but spin it into something new and original. Whisk(e)y, cherry, and orange were

Sleighwrecked

My love of tropical rum drinks and the fruit of the season - cranberry.

Merry Cherry Christmas

To frost fruit brush with egg white, sprinkle with caster sugar and leave to dry for about 2 hours.

Most Wonderful Time

Inspired by the Queen Anne chocolate covered cherries found in Advent calendars.
