Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Fur of the Reindeer

Flavor notes: furity, citrus, herbal

Red Velvet

Cherries & berries with added fizz

Holy Aroma

Great cocktail after dinner .

Cherie Cyn

I made this as a surprise holiday cocktail for my wife, Cynthia, this Christmas as a riff on a Boulevardier, her favorite winter drink.

Port and Peter

I love Kalimotxo and Sangria - in the summer however. I knew that Cherry Heering would be a great way to spike a Kalimotxo while adding a cherry flavour.

The cherry on the cake

Can be enjoyed by itself at anytime of the year but preferably paired with cake for Christmas! (Especially if the cake is a chocolate one)

Resting Grinch Face

I wanted a refreshing cocktail with Cherry Heering. Since this liqueur is very sweet, no other sweeteners were added. The Aperol and lime juice bring down

Frosted Cherry Cha-Cha

I wanted to create a festive cocktail my friends and family could enjoy representing the spice and flavors of the holiday season. To me, that means pie

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

The Vixen

Evoking chocolate and orange takes me back to my childhood days in London, enjoying Jaffa cakes by the fire. Additionally, the clove studded orange garnish

McGarry

Based on the Vanessa Polk, which I submitted to the Guide last year. (The name refers to the barman of the Drones Club in P. G. Wodehouse.)

Senora Cereza Toma Un Humo (Mrs. Cherry has a smoke)

Cherry and lime lead transitioning to mezcal and cocoa from the bitters ending with a spicy, smoky finish.

Danish Healer

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

Dear Christiana

I try to make a link between the cherry liquor and where is come from. For the name Dear Christiana, the freetown, neighbourhood of the Danish capital

Out of the Woods

A moreish take on a Black Forest Gateux, perfect for any occasion.

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 on Christmas
