Today is Gaming's birthday, so we are drinking a Playmate Martini.
Heering Cherry Cocktail Competition
We're looking for the best new Heering Cherry Liqueur cocktails inspired by Christmas. As an incentive to drive your creativity, our friends at Heering
Saturn
A Tiki-influenced frozen gin sour with passion fruit and almond.
Lucien Gaudin
A vintage French riff on a Negroni. This cocktail is perhaps better, certainly easier drinking when served on-the-rocks.
Gentleman's Health
A four, equal parts cocktail created by Kevin Kos to bring awareness to Movember, a charity and initiative to spread awareness about health issues faced
Sevivon
With its rich apple, spice, citrus and nuttiness, this cocktail was created for the Hanukkah season as the perfect accompaniment for Hanukkah fare.

East India No. 4
Rich sherry and bone-dry vermouth balance each other to deliver a flavoursome aperitivo.
Psychopathia Sexualis

Aviation Cocktail (Difford's recipe)
Citrusy, floral gin with a lightly sour finish.
Jack Rose Cocktail
In his 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, David Embury says, a Jack Rose is nothing but a Pink Apple Car, and when made with just calvados, lemon juice

It's fluffy and the recipe may look sweet, but this classic is dry and herbal with layers of fruit.
Havana Rum Punch
Rum-laced, long and fruity with three citrus fruits balanced by honey.
Chocolate Orange Espresso Martini
As the name suggests, a chocolate orange-flavoured Espresso Martini.
