Recipes entered into the Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Merry Cherry Christmas

You don't need to add the egg white as it doesn't adjust the flavour here, so this can be substituted for a vegan alternative like Aquafaba.

Chorus Girl

I like to make Chorus Girl with the less common Cocchi Dopo Teatro, but I'm sure the standard Cocchi Torino would be fine.

The cherry on the cake

Can be enjoyed by itself at anytime of the year but preferably paired with cake for Christmas! (Especially if the cake is a chocolate one)

Cherry Espresso Martini

Created this Christmas as a fundraiser for Hope and Play, a charity that build children's playgrounds in Gaza.

CCC

CCC stands for Cherry Chocolate Cake.

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

My Cherry Amour

Flavor profile is reminiscent of Christmas fruitcake, raisins from the cognac, candied citrus from the lemon and orange juice, Cherries from the Heering

The Parka (hot toddy)

With hot toddy's often being associated with the cold/flu season, using immune-boosting tea instead of just water was used to help combat the winter weather

Yukon Cornelius

Cornelius's cocktail is warming and smoky thanks to mezcal which serves as the base spirit. Herbal alpine intrigue is introduced with Génépy liqueur

Festive Fling

I could not list them on the Diffords maker, but the use of dates really is essential. That leathery, dried fruit aspect backed by the maraschino and tannin

Most Wonderful Time

Inspired by the Queen Anne chocolate covered cherries found in Advent calendars.

12 Days of Flipmas

Since Cherry Heering is so rich I wanted to make an indulgent after dinner drink resembling a warm fruit cobbler one might have over the holidays. And

Brave

The Cherry Heering and Chartreuse Jaune combo is great, then added Scotch and lemon to create a shaken drink. Done for this very competition only. Prost!

Holy Aroma

Great cocktail after dinner .

Mince Pie Manhattan

The Fernet Branca adds a hint of Christmas Tree and balances the sweetness of the other ingredients. The drink works without it but isn't quite the same.

Blood and Santa

You can play with orange juice/Aperol balance depending on the quality of the juice available.
