Recipes entered into the Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition
Fruit of Bethlehem
Delightfully dark, off-sweet, and slightly fruity! A fun and accessible cocktail for anyone who wishes to make it.
Velveteen Rabbit
The drink itself leans bittersweet and is definitely in the dessert/nightcap region. The garnish is to be eaten first, as the cocoa powder leaves a lingering
'Twas The Night
A very pleasant treat of a cocktail! Cherry, chocolate and a hint of mint work very well with the warm spice and light smoke from the bourbon.
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.
CCC
CCC stands for Cherry Chocolate Cake.
Rudolph's Wonderland
For a winter solstice / Christmas cocktail I wanted to take this beautifully rich-sweet Heering Cherry Liquor (my father always called it Cherry Herring
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
Santa's Vacation Cooler

Peater Sour
The peated whisky should be Islay; I like Ardbeg. This may be reduced, if the blended whisky has a pronounced peat element already. The glass I use is
Santa Cheers
Black Forest Gateau vibes with a hint of vanilla. Can still be enjoyed by Real Ale enthusiasts as it is not overly sweet.
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
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
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
Spiced Cherry Sour
I just really enjoy cherry and lime flavors together, and wanted the spices of the rum and falernum for more of a holiday taste.
