Recipes entered into the Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

Down for the Count

A mash up of a Negroni with the Remember the Maine (and the Punt e Mes aspect of a Remember the Maine riff called Remember the Alamo).

Cherry All The Way

I wanted to honor the legendary Heering Cherry Liqueur from 1818. To do so, I made the product the forefront of the cocktail. This recipe is all about

Sonder

. When I think of Christmas, I think of my late grandad, I think of him digging through a box of heroes chocolates, I think of him putting a little too

Sleighwrecked

My love of tropical rum drinks and the fruit of the season - cranberry.

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

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.

Goodnight Kiss

For best results use an aromatic sloe gin such as elephant sloe gin. If your sloe gin is more fruity and less spicy then a few dashes of Angostura Aromatic

Do You Heer What I Heer

A somewhat boozy cocktail with hint of smoke, cherry sweetness and holiday spice. My preferred mezcal is Bozal Tobasiche which has some earthy and chocolaty

Yukon Cornelius

Cornelius's cocktail is warming and smoky thanks to mezcal which serves as the base spirit. Herbal alpine intrigue is introduced with Génépy liqueur
