Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition
Sour Cherry Negroni
I introduced this recipe in early 2019, and since then, it has been proven to be a booming serve in any bar menu I develop. It is a very successful riff
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.
Regina Margarita
Combining two cultures in one glass. Italian inspired flavors in a softly spiced margarita.
Tomte (Scandinavian Santa)
Inspired by the Scandinavian origin of cherry Heering- taste of place and season
The cHEERING
The gin can be increased to create a more forward gin flavor.
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.)
Heering for the Holidays
created myself...inspired by heering flavour profile, and holiday flavours
Cerise Céleste
This cocktail is to be served ice cold and sipped slowly
Black Forest
Notes of jam, fresh berries, butterscotch and desert wine. Almost acts as a desert wine itself! Tip: Eat the chocolate in-between sips, it's part
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.
Sweater Weather
Regardless of whether dry or reverse-dry shaken, use a Hawthorne strainer on final pour to ensure fine and even foam. For best presentation, let the coconut
Family reunion, spill the tea
For a higher ABV cocktail, substitute hibiscus tea with hibiscus infused rum. I suggest Wray & Nephew.
Danish Healer
Sweet flavour of cherry intertwined with the herbal undertones of sage and Chartreuse, made festive with champagne.
Goodnight Kiss
For best results use an aromatic sloe gin such as elephant sloe gin. If your sloe gin is more fruity and less spicy then a few dashes of Angostura Aromatic
Stocking Stuffer
Shake and strain over ice
Merry Cherry aka Feliz Cereza
The recipe's been created for this competition, over couple days at my place. It's a must to use quality tequila that tastes like agave, otherwise
