Notes

Dirty Shirley Temple Cocktails For A Party
This is a fizzy drink, so if you want to make a big batch you can mix it up but plan to serve it right away. I don’t recommend leaving it in a large pitcher or punch bowl – the soda goes flat pretty quickly!
Instead, set up a cocktail bar with all of the ingredients, glasses, and ice so your guests can mix their own. This is a great way for your guests to make their own mocktail or cocktail!
Easy Substitutions
  • Use vanilla vodka instead of cherry vodka to give it a smooth yummy taste.
  • Mix up your soda by using club soda for a less sweet drink
  • Give it a twist with Ginger Beer instead of soda. Shirley Temple turned Moscow Mule anyone?
  • Make it skinny by using diet lemon-lime soda instead of regular soda.
  • If you don’t have grenadine use the juice from the maraschino cherries instead.
