Recipes entered into the 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

Christmas night

Strong cherry notes but the hazelnut and lemon juice create a chocolatey flavour, Galliano to give the drink a cake feel but can be omitted, swapping the

Port and Peter

I love Kalimotxo and Sangria - in the summer however. I knew that Cherry Heering would be a great way to spike a Kalimotxo while adding a cherry flavour.

Cherry Ripe Manhattan

The flavour profile of the cocktail is complex and deep, with three different and remarkable waves of flavours: The first is Dry due to presence of Cognac

CCC (Christmas Cherry Cola)

Created in my kitchen to serve as a refreshing, low ABV beverage enjoyed during holiday afternoons.

Wiscansin

Since the angostura and absinthe are the same amount, I like to combine them in a dropper bottle to have one less touch.

Frosted Cherry Cha-Cha

I wanted to create a festive cocktail my friends and family could enjoy representing the spice and flavors of the holiday season. To me, that means pie

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.

Heer's to You

This cocktail is meant to be a flip version of a coquito recipe. Madeira is used in many family recipes for the holidays and rum, madeira, and cherry herring

Sleigh Me!

A riff on the sidecar and cable car using cherry heering.

An Almost Fanatical Devotion to the Pope

I wanted to create a Manhattan variation that captured the essence of the cordial chocolate cherries that I get every holiday season. This cocktail will

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.

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

CC Swirl

For me the gin/vermouth give this cocktail the opportunity to be drunk as an aperitif. However the first version of this was drunk while doing the Christmas

Gean it laldy

I created this first using Glenfiddich 12 yo, but decided a more robust blended scotch with a slight hint of peaty smoke works best (e.g. Black Bottle).

Danish Fizz

Smooth creamy gin with delicate cherry finish. Christmas vibes.
