Dirty Shirley

It's Cocktail Hour! For this post we are going to put a spin on a classic 'mocktail', The Shirley Temple. 

Originally created for the one & only Miss Temple, who needed a non-alcoholic cocktail for when she was out & about schmoozing with Hollywood bigwigs. 

The 'mocktail' is typically made up of ginger-ale or lemon lime soda, splashed with grenadine & garnished with a maraschino cherry. 

Simple, sweet & adorable just like Miss Temple.

Now the Dirty Shirley is still sweet & adorable, 

but has the perfect pinch of sass.

What you need:

Cherry Flavored Vodka, Ginger-ale, a Jar of Maraschino Cherries, a Highball Glass filled with Ice, a Spoon & a Shot Glass

Fill your glass 3/4 of the way full with ginger-ale & add out about 2 ounces of cherry vodka.

& if your feeling extra sassy, make it a double ;)

Spoon out a cherry or two from the jar & I like to add a spoonful of cherry juice in lieu of a simple syrup or grenadine for sweetness.

Then it's time to employ the 3 S's

Stir, Sip & Smile! :0)
