Notes
Isn't this a simple adult Shirley Temple drink recipe??? You'll find that adding vodka to your childhood mocktail will bring back several memories.
There is not much evidence that the phrase “dirty†refers to anything other than adding vodka to a Shirley Temple. Many people believe that adding vodka to a Shirley Temple constitutes an act of debauchery, but this is not necessarily the case. This is just an adult spin on a childhood memory.
Whether you call this drink a Dirty Shirley Temple, Boozy Shirley Temple, or a Shirley Temple Cocktail ~ you’ll enjoy it by any name! Maybe you can drink while unwinding and watching your favorite Shirley Temple movie. My favorite is Heidi!
