Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

12th Overnight

Sweet milk punch with a velvety mouthfeel, tarty background and rich cherry aftertaste. Brandy de Jerez and popcorn create a delicious pastry palate, balanced

Snowpenhagen

If you like it a little stronger and fruitier, you should swap the white light rum with a stronger rhum agricole, e.g. the 50% Clément, matched very well

Dolly Varden

In 1900 Isaac Weinreich founded the Dolly Varden chocolate company in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine district. While he didn't invent the cherry cordial confection

Immortality Darling

Chocolate notes coming from the Woodford Reserve Double Oak and mole bitters complement the baking spices from angostura, cinnamon, and calvados. An orange

Gift

Provideb at room temperature. Altruism.

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

Bright and Cheery

I used Roses grenadine to enhance the color, not for flavoring, and Lairds Applejack as the apple brandy, but I am sure calvados would be a good substitute.

Cherry sling

It's bit complex on bourbon with nice twist of Campari and passion fruit

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

Cherry Sour Christmas

My after Christmas drink in cold Netherlands looking for a candy tasting cocktail.

Cheering in the Rye

One of my favorite Christmas desserts is a Black Forest Trifle which includes Heering Cherry Liquor. I wanted to play off those flavors to create a twist

Republique

spicier Armagnac is very helpful in giving the full body of flavor for this cocktail

Merry Cherry Christmas

To frost fruit brush with egg white, sprinkle with caster sugar and leave to dry for about 2 hours.

Snow Angel

Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less Velvet Falernum or Orgeat Syrup. Price: £18
