Hi friends! Today I’m sharing my Dirty Shirley Temple: The Perfect Summer 2022 Cocktail! If you’re looking for a super refreshing, delicious, and all around tasty cocktail – this is going to be your new go-to drink for this spring/summer season. Keep reading to see how I made it and what makes it so fresh!
If you’ve been browsing TikTok, then you know that the Dirty Shirley Temple is one of the top summer drinks for 2022. Another memo that I believe “Gen Z” has missed, Dirty Shirley’s have been around for as long as I can remember! I have been ordering these since way back in college. Shirley Temples were my favorite growing up and then as soon as I turned 21 – just throw some vodka in it!
I think it’s hilarious how the “Gen Z” Dirty Shirley is much fancier than the one we used to make just throwing 3 ingredients together. Well, it’s basically the same thing but now we’re just adding fancy sparkling waters, fancy grenadine, and fancy garnishing. And pretty looking cherries of course.
This perfect weekender drink will have you embracing these summer nights in no time. It is full-blown summer here in TN and I couldn’t be happier! Happier hours with friends are in full force, the kids are out of school so hello backyard patio hangs/play dates, at home date nights with the hubs? Yes please! Seasonal depression has been LIFTED! If you live in TN, the forecast looks aaaaamazing the rest of this week! We are actually heading to Florida as a family this weekend and I’m super excited to make this while we’re on vacay. What is better than a fresh cocktail ocean side with your feet in the sand? Not much!
What’s that TikTok video that’s like “I swear I just stepped outside and the sun whispered in my ear to get drunk”… that may or may not be this weekend. Don’t mom shame me. The kids will have a nice refreshing margarita mocktail going too. What’s better?! This cocktail is unreal easy to make and you probably already have all of the ingredients at home.
