Recipes entered into the Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

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.

Island in the snow

A match of tropics and winter; like an island in the snow.

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).

Holiday Heering Aid

I like to use the microplane grater and fully grate the lemon I'm juicing. It makes for a much more lemony cocktail, which is a good thing in my book.

REINDEER ROCKETTE

The iconic kickline of world famous Radio City Rockettes--a precision dance troupe and exemplary American chorus line-has been brightening the New York

Resting Grinch Face

I wanted a refreshing cocktail with Cherry Heering. Since this liqueur is very sweet, no other sweeteners were added. The Aperol and lime juice bring down

Mary´s Jingle

2,5-7,5 ml lime juice depending on the sweetness of your orange juice (and your taste). In addition, the style/perception of the cocktail changes a lot

Stocking Stuffer

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

Silent Night

Smokey, slightly sweet with warming spice.

Fur of the Reindeer

Flavor notes: furity, citrus, herbal

Cherry Cordial Cocktail

Created for the Cherry Heering cocktail contest. I love the flavor of the cherry cordials you get during the holidays. This cocktail invokes all of those

Mrs Greaves

Do not substitute the vanilla dusting for extract as it will overpower the drink, as will adding maraschino juice that will also over power the balance

Cherrily On High

A slightly tropical iced variation on a classic Tom & Jerry, elevated by Cherry Heering and lime. Simple to make in large batches as a Christmas punch.

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
