Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Dancing Molly

Illy RTD for cold brew. Caffe Lolita coffee liqueur. Five Farms (Kerrygold) Irish Cream

Santa Cheers

Black Forest Gateau vibes with a hint of vanilla. Can still be enjoyed by Real Ale enthusiasts as it is not overly sweet.

Under the Mistletoe

Cracking a fresh egg should result in 3/4oz to 1 oz, but if measuring Aquafaba, start with 3/4oz and increase to 1oz if that's more you desired foaminess!

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

Santa's Favorite

Approach construction casually and finish with a flourish.

Gean it laldy

I created this first using Glenfiddich 12 yo, but decided a more robust blended scotch with a slight hint of peaty smoke works best (e.g. Black Bottle).

Cherryfic Christmas Cocktail

Made for Cherry Heering competition, Christmas 2023.

Cloves Fields Forever

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

Merry Crisis

Inspired by the flavors of the German cherry marzipan candies from my childhood, kicked up the with a touch of spice and nuttiness from the added Angostura

Southern Winter

I only added a bar spoon of sugar syrup as the Heering brings a lot of sweetness. It has forward notes of lime, like a daiquiri, with back notes of warming

Fruit of Bethlehem

Delightfully dark, off-sweet, and slightly fruity! A fun and accessible cocktail for anyone who wishes to make it.

Red Comet

Add all ingredients to a mixing tin. Add ice, shake for 5-10 seconds, and then strain into an Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry on

Danish Healer

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

Sleighwrecked

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

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.

Stained Lips

This is a booze forward cocktail so proper dilution is key.
