About this deal

With: Dry gin, Cherry Heering cherry brandy, Benedictine DOM, triple sec, pineapple juice, lime juice, grenadine and Angostura bitters. The best way to experience the rich flavors of Heering Cherry is when served chilled in combination with a piece of chocolate. The flavor combination of chocolate and cherries works great and is a classic for a reason. Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Thailand, UK, USA Key Dates

We say: Like its creator, this drink is hard to classify. A hint of Singapore Sling oriental cherry with some Cuban Daiquiri aged rum and a splash of grapefruit sourness. Cherry Heering is a deep red cherry liqueur. It is the sweetest of the three and exhibits a more natural cherry taste when compared to both Kirsch and Maraschino liqueur. Combine two cups of sugar, two cups of water, and 450g of cherries (pitted, fresh or frozen) to a medium saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for five minutes, stirring frequently. Let it stand for five minutes. Then pour the cherry mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl, gently pressing the cherries to release its remaining juices. Kirsch is a short form for a German cherry Brandy variant. The full name for this product is Kirschwasser, which translates to cherry water. Both these products classify as Cherry Brandies. However, the term Brandy might be confusing as neither product is macerated in Brandy but neutral grain spirits like Vodka. Heering Cherry Liqueur vs. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur We say: It's in the name really, with genever giving us a yuletide spirit base, sweetened and flavoured by the all-important star of the show cherry liqueur. Chinato dries it out and adds wine notes while gin adds freshness and botanical complexity. Maraschino and orange bitters complete this festive tipple. A little bit more complex, but then isn't every dish and drink at Christmas? Cherry MojitoDiscard the cherries and allow the syrup to cool down to room temperature. Cover the container and place it in the fridge to chill for four hours. Once it is chilled, transfer the cherry syrup to your preferred storage container. Flavoured simple syrup will last for in your refrigerator for up to a month. Both liqueurs are sweet and cherry-flavored, but with the Maraschino liqueur, the cherry flavors are less pronounced. On top, Maraschino adds a subtle herbal note and is far less sweet than Heering Cherry liqueur. It contains barely any sugar but a whopping 40% ABV instead. Maraschino is also clear in color - not red like Heering Cherry. How to serve The main difference between Kirsch and Cherry Heering is that Kirsch is a clear, dry, and slightly bitter spirit usually bottled at 37% ABV (74 proof) to 43% ABV (86 proof). Cherry Heering, on the other hand, is significantly sweeter. It is of dark red color, is less alcoholic (24% ABV; 48 proof), and has a more pronounced cherry taste. With: Luxardo Sour cherry gin, white crème de menthe, Cherry Heering cherry brandy, lemon juice and chocolate bitters. Rye whiskey is a bit drier and spicier-tasting than bourbon, which can sometimes have a sort of syrupy quality.

We say: Fernet Branca adds an almost smoky note to the rye, Yellow Chartreuse and cherry brandy combo. A great bittersweet after-dinner digestif. How to make: Lightly MUDDLE mint in base of glass (just to bruise). Add next three ingredients and STIR before filling glass with ice. TOP with soda. The competition will be judged by Simon Difford (of this manor), Max de Smit (Global Brand Ambassador), Arno van Eijmeren (founder of Barrelproof Company) and Yolanda Báez (Darling Rooftop Bar, New York). Alternatively, you can mist the inside of the glass with absinthe. This results in less waste and a consistent application of the strongly flavored spirit. I like to use the atomizer bottles from Pina Barware. What makes it worth trying This misconception about how Cherry Heering would taste was so prevalent, that during the 1960s, the company was at pains to point out that the liqueur was neither a ‘woman’s’ drink nor heavy and syrupy. Many of the ads of the time for the liqueur used the description that ‘Cherry Heering is light and almost dry’ and that in fact is was a ‘liqueur with a real “refreshing” taste.’

So How Does It Taste?

Although how that taste is created is a secret, one that has been handed down over five generations, it is believed that it is the Danish cherries as well as the manufacturer that sets it apart. The fruit is crushed together with the stones, which give Heering its characteristic hint of almond. Herb and spices are added before oak cask maturation for at least three years. If you look for a fitting garnish, you can go with lemon wheels or peels and a (Stevens) cherry. The history The French Manhattan is a dapper spin-off of the original, containing Bisquit Dubouché Cognac and Grand Marnier , along with Cinzano Vermouth Rosso and a few dashes of bitters. Garnished with maraschino cherries, it’s a captivating drink that never disappoints. 10. Three Dots and a Dash With a mixer: Heering Cherry is great when paired with chilled soda water, Coke, Champagne, or Prosecco.

Serve the liqueur straight up in a chilled liqueur glass. Serve it with just one small piece of dark chocolate and slowly indulge in the rich bittersweet flavors.The aftertaste offers hints of almonds. That's mainly due to using whole crushed cherries, including the stones, during the soaking process. The cask-age maturation develops the flavor profile and leads to a complex and balanced cherry taste. Substitutions
