Dirty Shirley

Background: The Dirty Shirley cocktail is one of our favorites because it’s simple and is easily adjusted to make a great mocktail for the non-drinkers or kids. It is a play on the classic Shirley Temple drink. By adding vodka, it becomes a Dirty Shirley! This is a great recipe for entertaining because it allows you to please everyone with minimal ingredients. It also makes for a refreshing cocktail on those hot summer days that you can whip up in minutes.

  • 2 ounces Tito’s vodka
  • 1 ounce grenadine
  • 7up or your favorite lemon-lime soda
  • maraschino cherries for garnish
  1. Fill a glass with ice, then add 2 ounces vodka and 1 ounce grenadine.
  2. Top with soda, then garnish with maraschino cherries.
  3. Enjoy!

We plan on making these cocktails along with our Flag Fruit Pizza and BBQ Chicken Ring for the 4th of July!
