how to make a dirty shirley

A Dirty Shirley is a simple, refreshing cocktail made by spiking a classic Shirley Temple with vodka.

Ingredients

• Ice
• 2 ounces vodka
• 1-2 ounces grenadine syrup
• 4-8 ounces lemon-lime soda (e.g., Sprite)
• 1 ounce lime juice (optional, to add a bit of tartness)
• Maraschino cherries and lime slices for garnish

Instructions

1. Fill a glass with ice.
2. Add vodka, grenadine, and lime juice (if using).
3. Top with lemon-lime soda.
4. Stir gently to mix.
5. Garnish with maraschino cherries and lime slices.
6. Serve immediately to enjoy the fizziness of the soda.

Optional variations include adding cherry juice for extra cherry flavor or using flavored vodka. The drink is sweet with a fizzy, tangy twist from the lime and soda.
