Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

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

Burning Down the Mistletoe

First tried garnish with mint, but it smelled like burning plastic when lit.

Sleigh Ryed

It helps the gently manhandle the rosemary a bit before dropping it into the glass, just to release some of the good smell.

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.

Merry Cherry Christmas

You don't need to add the egg white as it doesn't adjust the flavour here, so this can be substituted for a vegan alternative like Aquafaba.

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

Two Red Roses & a Cucumber in a Cherry Tree

To further accentuate this cocktail, use any gin that contains lime, rose and/or cucumber as one of its' botanicals. Cucumber slices are cut a 1/4

Goodnight Kiss

For best results use an aromatic sloe gin such as elephant sloe gin. If your sloe gin is more fruity and less spicy then a few dashes of Angostura Aromatic

Los Tres Reyes

Meaning 'The Three Kings', this cocktail is based on the flavours of Ponche Navideño, a spiced fruit punch enjoyed in Mexico, traditionally

Cherry Fog Nog

If there are two drinks which remind me of Christmas, they're Egg Nog and the holiday London Fog from my local cafe. Rather than the typical Earl

Heering for the Holidays

created myself...inspired by heering flavour profile, and holiday flavours

Viking's blood

The vodka tempers the herbal nature of the aquavit, stopping it being overpowering.

Peanut butter and Jelly Old Fashioned

This seriously tastes just like a Peanut butter and Jelly sandwich from your childhood!

Well Baked

A nice balance of sweet and dry. The sweetness coming from Cherry heering and Licor 43, whilst the Martell VS brings a depth of dryness and the sherry

CCC

CCC stands for Cherry Chocolate Cake.

Santa's Little Helper

Inspired by classic tiki recipes, this extra boozy nightcap is just what santa needs to get through his busiest night of the year.
