pine-laced spiced cherry-vanilla limeade

Vieuxx Cherr-ey (pronounced Vee Cheer-hey)

Island in the snow

A match of tropics and winter; like an island in the snow.

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

Saturnalia

Desserty top notes of cherry and vanilla that give way to astringent and citrucy middle without ending either too sweet or too dry. Well-balanced.

Cherry Bakewell Martini

It's the perfect marriage of cherries and almond!

Danish Healer

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

It's not mulled wine?

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

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.

Sleighwrecked

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

Cherry sling

It's bit complex on bourbon with nice twist of Campari and passion fruit

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).

Piedmontese

Notes of cherry, blood orange, tea, herbs, and smoke, just like the Barolo that inspires it. Tannic and full bodied.
