cherry heering - Cocktail Detour

Singapore Sling

Time for another classic cocktail, the Singapore Sling, famously invented at Raffles Hotel in - Singapore.⁠ ⁠ By only looking at the list of ingredients, one might not feel so tempted to try. Cherry liqueur and pineapple juice sounds quite sweet. But thankfully the big splash of lime, the herbal liqueur and the bitter gin somehow bind everything together in a much pleasant way. This is a quencher cocktail, very refreshing and exotic at the same time. ⁠ ⁠ What we also like is the beautiful color

Copenhagen Cocktail

When there is cherry liqueur in a drink, we almost feel obliged to garnish with maraschino cherries. This time we wrapped it with lemon zest, for that extra flair.⁠ ⁠ The cocktail itself is a fun one. Genever, combined with Cherry Heering, lemon juice and sugar make rust red drink with many layers of flavour, the star of course being the Danish cherry liqueur.⁠ Recipe by Gromit Eduardsen Ingredients: 1,66 oz genever⁠ 0,66 oz Cherry Heering⁠ 0,66 oz lime juice⁠ 0,33 oz simple syrup⁠ 1 dash Ango

Last Minute Gift

We found this recipe via Imbibe Magazine [https://imbibemagazine.com/last-minute-gift/] and immediately wanted to make it. We did have some leftover chocolate oat milk, which we used instead of the suggested spiced oat milk, and we can tell it worked so well!⁠ ⁠ The oat milk creates this smooth rich texture, turning the cocktail almost into a dessert. The addition of walnut bitters we love a little bit extra, it's a fantastic bitter that unfortunately doesn't get used too often.⁠ Last Minute Gi

Blood & Skar

This is a Blood and Sand riff, using akvavit rather than rum. It makes this cocktail much more Scandinavian, and as Swedes that's something we have to love. By the way, anybody knows the Swedish word for blood? And even trickier, what's the Swedish word for sand?⁠ ⁠ The glassware deserves a mentioning of its own. We were gifted this glass a few years ago, and we only use it for bold, confident and daring cocktails. Blod & Skar is certainly such a cocktail.⁠ Blod & Skar Recipe by Sean Davey Ing

Japean

It's more than a month since we returned home from our visit to Japan, where we got to see Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo close up. It was two unforgettable weeks, and we feel so inspired by it, also when it comes to cocktailing.⁠ ⁠ So we were extra thrilled when Kokoro gin [https://kokorogin.com/] reached out, asking us to create a cocktail with their gin and their liqueurs. We knew straight away we wanted to go as Japanese as possible, both in flavor and looks.⁠ ⁠ Now the Kokoro gin is actually produc

Callaloo Cooler

In this wonderful drink we're using Spytail [https://www.spytailrum.com/] rum, which is a new brand to us. It's based on aged rum from Guyana and Trinidad which is then aged a further three to six months in France, in the Cognac area, in barrels that used to hold - Cognac. Yummy!⁠ ⁠ The result is a super smooth, mellow and literally round rum that we immediately thought would work well as the base of tiki drinks. What's cool with this rum is how well it cuts through all those competing flavors

Groceries for the queen

Two of our favorite ingredients are in this drink, cherry liqueur and amaro Montenegro. Both originate from old recipes, and they have been around for a long time. Hence, there's something rather poetic about mixing them together, and enjoying them combined in this drink.⁣ ⁣ The only downside of these ingredients is that they are not that rich in colour. The cocktail does turn out a bit brown. But don't let that fool you, it is still packed with nice flavour.⁣ Groceries for the queen Recipe b

Eclipse

This is a super refreshing agave drink, bursting with both berryness and sourness. Thanks to the Aperol and cherry Heering the drink turns out deliciously ruby red. A rocks glass is the suggested glassware, but we think this drink would also look beautiful in a coupe glass. We used a vintage rocks glass though which was a bit on the small side. So out of picture there is a second almost full glass of this wonderful cocktail. Eclipse Recipe by Leo Robitschek Ingredients: 0,75 oz reposado tequil
