La Diva’s Heartthrob
PUBLISHED ON: 10.17.2010
I know it’s Sunday, the weather is crisp and cool. A hearty dish is probably the best option for today’s post but, the past week has been hectic. I am going to skip cooking today, and join friends outside for a cocktail. Share some good laughs, enjoy some nibbles and call it a day.
This is La Diva’s spin on a classic whiskey sour. This is her sexy drink that she calls “Heartthrob”. You can check out her sassy and fun blog at ladivacucina.blogspot.com . If you live in the South Florida area, don’t forget to register for her cooking and cocktails classes.
Honestly, I have not been a fan of bourbons and whiskeys. No reason, probably a lack of experience and appreciation. This cocktail is proof that I have a lot to learn. This drink is both a sweet and sour. Make no mistake, this drink is smooth and it promises to deliver a punch if you are not careful.
Enjoy!!

Almost every Sunday I have begun to count on a drink recipe from you! Well, maybe not Sundays, but very often. I so wish this was 10 years ago. I would be making them like crazy. I still make cocktails… but, no longer like crazy, if you know what I mean. Whiskey, though, is not my drink.:)Valerie

I like your idea of a cocktail party with friends, and this drink sounds like the perfect accompaniment.

I'm not a big bourbon or whiskey fan (bad experience, don't ask LOL) but this drink does sound tasty! Maybe it's time to revisited those liquors ;o)

I remember that my grandmother used to serve whiskey sours. She would be astounded, and would probably immediately request one of these!

Cooking and COCKTAIL classes? Are you allowed to taste while you are \”cooking\”? Awesome!

Cherry Whiskey? I guess I have been out of touch with drink fixing for way too long because I didn't know they made fruit flavored whiskey. Sounds wonderful.I can't drink anymore because of some medications I take, but I miss the taste of bourbon and whiskey. This is such a pretty drink. Bet it tastes delicious. I will pass it on.

My mother's cocktail of choice was always a whiskey sour. Cherry whiskey makes for an interesting twist. Looks great!

Looks delicious! I've never seen cherry whiskey before. Maybe it would alter my view of whiskey too. I love the name.
