During childhood family vacations, my mother and I would often partake in happy hour: her with a rum & Diet or a strawberry daiquiri and I would have a virgin daiquiri or my favorite Shirley Temple. Ordering a Shirley Temple was a special treat and I especially loved the maraschino cherries!
I still love a Shirley Temple. However, I’ve grown up and so has good old Shirley. Sometimes, I order a Dirty Shirley when I’m out with friends but be warned, they can stain your lips bright red!
Ingredients
2 oz vodka
1 oz lime juice

It’s your childhood all grown up in a glass. Enjoy!
Even better? Cherry infused or cherry flavored vodka with soda water and squeeze of lemon or lime. Don’t have to worry about the red mouth stains!
