    Yummy! I am normally not a huge whisky fan but I would totally try this if it’s mixed with cherries.
    Could you also mix it with vodka for a different taste?

    Interesting idea to mix whiskey with sweet cherries like that–like an amped up Manhattan, almost. I remember my cousin making us Shirley Temples back when we were kids–we felt so grown up with our own fancy drinks 🙂

    How cute you should put some edible love hearts in it and edible confetti that would look so cool. I would have mine without alcohol in it as I can’t drink but great recipe.
