Cooking Lesson #1112: Snowmobile Cocktail

…from the Perspectives’ Holiday Happy Hour Bar

How you doin’? I’ll bet you have a bottle of some obscure liquor all the way in the back of your liquor cabinet or on the top shelf of your bar getting dusty. Thank goodness, with very few exceptions, liquor doesn’t go “stale.”
 
I had a bottle of Cherry Heering that I didn’t quite know what to do with. Heering Cherry Liqueur is a Danish liqueur flavored with cherries. It is often referred to simply  as Peter Heering or Cherry Heering in books and cocktail recipes. Heering Cherry Liqueur is often used as an ingredient in cocktails including a Singapore Sling and Blood & Sand. Cherry Heering can also be used in baking.
 
But I digress…  Personally, I’m not particularly fond of cold weather or winter sports. I will be a good sport and go with friends to snowy weather areas, but while they are outdoors freezing their buns off, I’ll be inside, nice and warm preparing (or contemplating) cocktails and dinner at the lodge. One drink I prefer as a winter warm up is my Snowmobile Cocktail. This is a great way to throw off the chill from a day of skiing or snowboarding.

ChefSecret:  Can’t find fresh cranberries? Substitute a quarter lime as a garnish.

Quip of the Day:  I tried to tell a joke about Danish design, but it was too minimalistic to be funny!
