Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Awilda Noel

For fans of Old Fashioned and Manhattans but using completely different ingredients. A nice after dinner sipper, if I do say so myself.

Snowpenhagen

If you like it a little stronger and fruitier, you should swap the white light rum with a stronger rhum agricole, e.g. the 50% Clément, matched very well

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.

Cloves Fields Forever

A relax herbal experience perfect when its cold outside but your heart is warm around your loved ones.

Family reunion, spill the tea

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

The cHEERING

The gin can be increased to create a more forward gin flavor.

Down for the Count

A mash up of a Negroni with the Remember the Maine (and the Punt e Mes aspect of a Remember the Maine riff called Remember the Alamo).

Catskill

The Catskill is an American-international cocktail. The bourbon and maple make it American. The Herring Cherry Liqueur brings a distinctive, delicious

Velveteen Rabbit

The drink itself leans bittersweet and is definitely in the dessert/nightcap region. The garnish is to be eaten first, as the cocoa powder leaves a lingering

Cherry sour

Can add more cherry liqueur for a deeper taste, Or adjust cranberry juice to 40 mm to sharpen taste

Cherryfic Christmas Cocktail

Made for Cherry Heering competition, Christmas 2023.

Cherry Cordial Cocktail

Created for the Cherry Heering cocktail contest. I love the flavor of the cherry cordials you get during the holidays. This cocktail invokes all of those

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.)

Island in the snow

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

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

Cherry Tradewinds Negroni

This is variation of the Tradewinds Negroni, which is spicy and punchy due to the amount of bitters. Here the sweetness of the cherry balances the bitters.
