Recipes entered into the 2023 Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Cherry Baby

Delish and too good not to share. You could swap for Gingerbread Syrup for Cinnamon Syrup. You could also use chocolate or orange bitters. Cool use for

Alabaster Snowball

I was inspired by the Coctel Noz de Coco Tropical that Charles Baker presented in his South American Companion: Up & Down the Andes with Jigger, Beaker,

Cherry Me Down Slowly

I get a lot of old fashioned drinkers so I'm always coming up with variations for them.
