Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition
Cherrytale of New York
This is Christmas in a glass! Best enjoyed sitting by a crackling fire.
Viking's blood

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).
