Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Blood and Santa

Riff on Blood and Sand- sort off.

The King's Gimlet

As well as simple to make, this cocktail should be easy to substitute most ingredients without affecting quality. Clear apple juice in place of cloudy

Silent Night

Smokey, slightly sweet with warming spice.

Un-Fig-Gettable

This cocktail was developed for "Sleigh Shed," a holiday cocktail pop up at "The Train Shed" in St. Louis, MO in 2022.

Tripple Cherry Fizz

I created this recipe in October 2023 to be served in the bar where I work during the Festive season.
