Recipes entered into the Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Mistletoe Cherry Crush

Upon first approach, the cocktail presents a delightful bouquet of rosemary and subtle cherry notes. Upon tasting, the harmonious blend of rum, cherry

Cherry Forest Sour

We came across this while creating new cocktails for our bar menu. Our musician loves Jäger so we tried something with this to get him a sour based on

Stocking Stuffer

The tasting notes are chocolate covered cherries with a vanilla burst.

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.

You'll Be Heering From Me

With this cocktail I aimed to create a warming, wintry sipper with a good toffeeish Irish whiskey while emphasising the nuttiness of the Heering alongside

Saturnalia

Desserty top notes of cherry and vanilla that give way to astringent and citrucy middle without ending either too sweet or too dry. Well-balanced.
