Dirty Shirley Temple Drink Recipe

I have been in love with Shirley Temples since the first time my dad ordered me one when I was a little girl.  I mean whats not to love, an adorable and sweet little 7-up , a splash of grenadine, topped off with a perfect little cherry.

Maybe my 35th birthday had me subconsciously reaching for something that made me feel young again. But as much as I wanted to make Shirley Temples, I found myself wanting to "adult" it up a bit with vodka.  Maybe I am ok with getting older, emphasis on maybe.

As I planned my birthday party I found several great recipes for a dirty shirley but most of them required way too much effort for this working momma. I wanted to try out my own recipe but all I had at home was a can of lemon Sanpellegrino and didn't want to run to the store for 7-up. Man I am glad I stayed home. Sanpellegrino is pretty much the only soda I ever buy and that 17% lemon juice always makes it a great "mixer!"  The incredible bite of tart lemon really compliments the sweet grenadine and fruity vodka. Topped with a gorgeous cherry and you have a drink worthy of the title dirty Shirley.This drink is crazy refreshing.

I hope you love like I do.
