Dirty Shirley
Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 to 1-1/2 ounces grenadine see Notes
- 6 to 8 ounces ginger ale or lemon-lime soda see Notes
- Garnish: 2 maraschino cherries see Notes
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass or stemless wine glass with ice.
- Add vodka, 1 ounce of grenadine, soda, and stir. Taste and add additional grenadine if needed.
- If it’s too sweet, add a squeeze of lemon juice to cut the sweetness
- Garnish with 2 maraschino cherries.
Notes
* You can use bottled grenadine, but homemade grenadine is easy to make. I freeze leftovers in small containers so I always have some on hand.
* I recommend premium soda such as Fever-Tree or Q for this cocktail.
* Luxardo Maraschino Cherries are preferred over traditional brightly colored maraschino cherries.
