Everything You Need to Know About the Dirty Shirley
The Dirty Shirley is the grown-up version of the Shirley Temple, the classic nonalcoholic drink named after the famous child actress. Made with vodka, grenadine and lemon-lime soda, it's sweet, fizzy and unapologetically nostalgic. The original Shirley Temple dates back to the 1930s, although accounts differ over who first created it. The alcoholic variation has been around for years but enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in 2022, when the Dirty Shirley became something of a summer cocktail sensation. With its bright pinkish-red color and signature maraschino cherry garnish, it's a simple drink that doesn't take itself too seriously.
