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)
