Dude no excuses-really good ginger ale matters! I suggest Cock & Bull ginger beer, Canada Dry is what you are forced to endure on a plane…worth upgrading trust me!
No, this is objectively wrong, a Shirley Temple is a quarter of the syrup from the maraschino cherry jars and 3 quarters sprite No alcohol, just cherry and sprite
I swear to god that “old guy tells you a shirley temple is a girls drink and suggests you get a roy rogers” happened exactly how you phrased it to me when I was like 11
My parents never drank at restaurants or took me to bars, and at home they'd just give me wine; my first experience with alcohol-free cocktails was just a couple of years ago, when my employers would give their young son Shirley Temples while adults drank. I have never heard of the Roy Rogers discrimination.
Fun fact: Shirley Temple denied that the drink was invented for her, and also hated them, calling them sickeningly sweet. And she really hated when people would send them to her table when she was out eating.
yep. supposedly she always hated them but she found it even less amusing after she reached adulthood as well It seems pretty clear to me that it's only called that because it's 'sweet and unadulterated'. She actually successfully sued a soda company to keep them from using the name 'Shirley Temple' on a canned version.
Ages ago I had a "reverend palmer" cocktail at a bar in Portland, OR. Black tea infused bourbon, lemon simple syrup, and bitters. It was so good I wrote it down and recreated it at home for years. It was closer to an Old Fashioned in proportion and presentation.
My drink of this and every summer is a Bitter Southerner No. 7, which sounds rather similar - sweet tea syrup, lemon juice, mint, and bourbon. The recipe includes one of my favorite instructions: “add ice and shake all to hell.” (And then you’re supposed to double-strain into a coupe but I invariably just pour it into a rocks glass.)
The Arnold Palmer Company (apparently he actually started a company) makes a delicious hard Arnold Palmer. It’s one of those things where you have to be careful because you can barely taste the alcohol so it’s easy drink way too many
When I was a kid, a Shirley Temple/Kiddie Cocktail was 7up and maraschino cherry “juice.” I discovered that Amaretto and 7up (or Sprite) has a very similar flavor profile, but is more fun. Our family now refers to this drink as “Party Pop.”

The Dirty Shirley is a cocktail I commonly make for my partner and guests who want something simple and sweet but long and refreshing. Been doing them for years. The two spirits most often requested to spike the drink are London dry gin and bonded rye whiskey. The standard mixer is always ginger ale as I do not stock lemon-lime soda. The typical measure for the grenadine is only half an ounce and it goes in last instead of first so it doesn't get all stuck at the bottom of the drink.
Yes!! This is exactly how I make mine - I'm a gin drinker in general and always have ginger ale, so this is the perfect summer mix-up for me. I do throw in a little cherry juice from the maraschinos to split with the grenadine.
First time I heard of an alcoholic version of a Shirley Temple was from Gilmore Girls where Lorelai called it a “Shirley Temple Black”, which was Shirley Temple’s married name. It added scotch (possibly Johnnie Walker Black?) to the standard recipe.
I've always called an alcoholic Shirley Temple a Shirley Temple Black, bc that's how my parents refer to them, though the alcohol is question is always vodka.
Fun Fact: Arnold Palmer used to order "An iced tea with a splash of lemonade." I have no clue where or why it got morphed into a "half and half" drink.
As a Barista, I can tell you "a splash" is uhhhhh... an unhelpful measurement. A splash of milk in a black coffee may not change the color enough so people want more, or some people's splash is too short or too long. And a splash isn't like saying a pour or a half pour of a liquor because we have literal definitions of how many ml/oz those are, even dashes are defined by using a cap that restricts the flow of liquid. So i bet over time, calling it a half and half mix made scaling and measuring an Arnold Palmer easier and more standardized.
@@____________838 Do you know how the question, "Does the milk go in before or after the tea" causes brits to go to war? This is the same thing for southerners in the US. To be honest, drink it how you like. There is a version of iced tea called "Sweet Tea" that has so much sugar you practically walk on the stuff. I rather add some sugar to my tea, and not the other way around. I can't drink the stuff. You may be different.
@@Shrifbun Maybe. I just remember seeing an interview where Arnold Palmer stated his preference for Iced Tea. My guess he wanted to substitute the lemonade for either the lemon wedge or a dash of lemon juice in a traditional iced tea with lemon.
@@jackielinde7568 That’s kind of the reason I asked. I grew up in the South, but to parents who drank their tea unsweetened. Sweet tea is known as “Iced Tea” in my area, and just wanted to clarify.
the thing i have found about haphazardly mixing lemonade and unsweetened iced tea is that the flavors do cancel each other out, so the addition of sugar is probably needed even if you don't like sweet/sweetened iced tea or prefer a more tart lemonade. arnold palmer himself played in 50 masters tournaments so i'd wager his iced tea had sugar in it also a dirty arnold palmer should be called a john daly
That bushmills has to be one of the best ads you've ever done in terms of a clear distinction that its a paid message, sticking to more of a script but still showcasing that you genuinely enjoy the product. It's really nice to see the care out into your sponsorships compared to how some channels can be a tad more disingenuous with how they speak about a product
Bushmills is a quality whiskey and I would expect a higher proof bottling previously aged in old Bourbon barrels is likely to be pretty darned good. My .02 USD
only 2 ways to do sponsor ads on youtube right, pick one you actually use and enjoy as a product yourself or go heavy on the ironic/sarcasm front while doing the ad-read
Personally I tend to build my Shirley Temples and their variants in reverse order, with the grenadine on top so it sinks down in. That way you don't end up with a pool of it at the bottom that needs to be mixed up. As for the dirty version, I would personally go with rum and ginger ale, plus lime juice. Definitely agree that it has to be real grenadine and not the Rose's.
I love Bushmills and Peaky Blinders, and I'm headed over right now to buy some of the bottles of the prohibiton formula. Much excite! Also, the name for an alcoholic Arnold Palmer has always been a John Daly, as far as I'm aware. Another famous golfer, and drunk. Add vodka if you're trying to hide the fact that you're drinking, or bourbon if you're not.
I would personally push the "Slow Comfort" as my drink of summer. It's equal parts Sloe Gin and Southern Comfort topped with either orange juice or lemonade, and served on ice. It has a lovely orangy pink color to it and tastes amazing.
When I was a kid in the 80’s my grandma’s friends would make me a Shirley Temple out of 7Up and Cherry juice. I always thought that was how they were supposed to be made. Learn something new every day.
when I was a kid, my family would make shirley temple's with split sprite and orange juice. honestly so surprised to find out thats not actually the recipe, it cuts down on the sweetness and makes it delicious 🧡 i suggest trying it like that, if you like the concept of a temple but aren't a fan of how cloying it is!
The Rummy Roy is a great drink. I think I’m going to try to make a Dirty Shirley with ginger ale and cognac instead of vodka, easy on the grenadine. I think the natural fruity sweetness of cognac would elevate the drink. Then again, a Dirty Shirley with ginger ale and rum instead of vodka would be a really nice play on a light and stormy.
I've seen a few cocktail books saying that the Shirley Temple is actually lemonade, ginger ale and grenadine. Which I love. The kiddie cocktail being the Sprite and grenadine mocktail you're making. Maybe add grenadine to the mojito? Perhaps grenadine is the syrup of this summer?
You should do a video on fan submitted cocktails and you rate them and try to improve or at least rebalance them if you think they need to be; here’s my cocktail, the Sherman’s March: 1 part De Kyper peach “Schnapps” (or southern comfort if you have terrible taste) 2 parts Fireball Sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon or cinnamon sugar, and chili powder, add ice and mix; optionally garnish with lemon or lemon juice, peach slice, or mint sprig
How is no one talking about the sponsored bit? One of my favorite channels has a direct sponsorship with a TV show that I just started watching? This is the Proof We've been waiting for. After all; There Are No Coincidences. Remember, Brethren, They Are Ever Vigilant. 🤣
I definitely experienced the gendering of drinks described in this video- I remember at the holiday parties we attended for my mom's hospital, the bartenders at the venue would make you a Shirley Temple if they perceived you as female or a Roy Rogers if they perceived you as male. My preferred non-binary pink drink is a Salty Dog: shake 2:1 or 3:1 London dry gin with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice over ice. Salt your rim. Top with seltzer if you want a longer-lasting highball drink. It's beautiful, and the floral nose that comes from the combination of gin & grapefruit is glorious!
As far as summer cocktails go, nothing beats mojitos imo. In the last year or so though I've discovered gose beers and those have changed the game for me. They're basically what you'd get if you wanted to make a mojito beer but they have a long history and are amazingly tasty. There's a local microbrewery that makes a hibiscus and lavander gose and that shit's a real banger I gotta say.
I've been making my own take on Dirty Shirley for over 7 years, and its amazing how in this video you mention how the NYT is saying folks are treating it with ironic nostalgia... because every time I make it (with Ole Smoky Moonshine instead of vodka) it reminds me of when I was a kid wandering around in my small town's small bowling alleys wondering what the alcohol the adults were drinking tasted like. My own sort of nostalgia! So maybe its more an ironic nostalgia drink than a "drink of summer."
When I was a kid my mom would make me a Shirley Temple and make a Dirty Shirley for herself. She called it a Shirley Temple Black though and told me that when she grew up and got married, that was her name. I tried ordering one in a bar when I turned 21, but I've never met a bartender who heard of it by that name. I've heard some people say that a Shirley Temple Black is with whiskey or bourbon, but I've never seen one served or ordered in a bar that way.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking--I'd never heard "Dirty Shirley" until recently; I'd heard of Shirley Temple Black as a Shirley Temple with some sort of dark liquor (I thought it was Kahlua or coffee-flavored but whiskey makes much more sense)
A few years back, say 2003-2004, there was a ltd ed Sprite variation with an icy mint flavor called Sprite Ice. Me and my buddies drank Sprite Ice+Jagermeister the whole summer. The mint really worked with the herbaceousness of the Jager. Ice cold Jager, lots of ice, and Sprite Ice. Refreshing AF. They've long since discontinued Sprite Ice (at least in Canada) but that strange mix remains my favorite Summer Drink.
@@frankgelder8519 I've come close, but nothing ever matched the "drinking icy cold Sprite while chewing 5 Gum" sensation. Now I just drink whiskey, it's my summer fall winter spring drink.
I always thought to make the Shirley temple with lime juice grenadine and soda of choice. I think it would help balance that sweetness you were getting from the first two.
My recipe for a spiced Roy Rogers (still no alcohol): "Hot Rogers": Start with no ice in your glass A pinch, or a couple of grinds, of black pepper at the bottom of the glass Add 2oz cola (Coke, RC, Pepsi - sweeter isn't always better) Add a splash of grenadine A pinch of ground coriander seed on top Add some crushed ice and stir Top with a few leaves (a sprig) of mint
Fun fact: in most countries here in Europe a lot of lemon and sugar are always present in our iced tea recipes. So what you call Arnold Palmer - we simply call "iced tea".
The ones I make are called gin temples. Ginger ale, fanciest most expensive maraschino cherries taken from someone else, and empress gin. Very tasty and the purple, deep red, and yellow colors all mix very interestingly.
I usually make mine with 7up, I was honestly not aware that Sprite was the usual soft drink used for it. And isn't an alcoholic Arnold Palmer a John Daly?
Shirley Temples were my favorite drink when my family used to go to our favorite Chinese restaurant way back in the day. It really has a special place in my heart ^w^
I wanted to suggest naming the alcoholic version of the Arnold Palmer the Happy Gilmore, but apparently that's already a drink... apparently the tea is infused in the vodka and in addition to the lemonade there's orange liqueur, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice. Sidebar, I'm pushing 40 and had only just heard of a Roy Rogers today.
I have been making a basic spiked “Arnold Palmer” since college by taking 1.5oz of lemon vodka (I use deep eddy) and topping it up with unsweetened iced tea. Extremely simple and not too sweet, it’s the platonic ideal of a summertime porch drink.
All of the cherries in this made me think of a question. I use Old Smoky Moonshine Cherries as a garnish for my Old Fashion. For the first time every I used up a jar with having it seal shut on me. So now I have half a mason jar of cherry infused moonshine. I'm sure I can do something special with this, what do you suggest?
Holy crap, that one of the best sponsored spots in any video I have seen so fa on RUclips. Looks amazing, works amazing with the show and the audience. Also Greg looks cool AF in that outfit.
My family and I have vacationed to the same spot in Michigan nearly every year my entire life. There's a nice restaurant we always make a point of eating at and I always, always got a Shirley Temple there growing up. Even now that I can drink I always get a Shirley Temple there at least once per trip. They're amazing.
Fill a glass half-full with ice cubes. Add a half a cup of orange juice and half a cup of Sprite or 7UP. Then gently pour in a tablespoon of grenadine. Top with an orange slice wrapped cherry on a cocktail stick.
Wisconsinite here, Shirley Temple is what you drink with your family at the bar. On occasion a little wine at those wine tasting sessions and then grass hoppers and pink squirrels, just a taste. Just my experience as a child.
Great ideas and presentation in this video, but I have a thought I'd like to share and folks on reddit pushed against it --- I sometimes wish the cocktail community could move past the way the Dirty Shirley moniker is used -- i have no issues with sexually named drinks, but ones that verge on bad taste or making innuendo about a person most well known as a child. If its an "adult" version, why not Shirley Black, or Temple Black, something thereof? After all, that was the surname name she used as an adult, which included a long career as US Ambassador to not only Ghana, but to Czechoslovakia before the fall of the Iron Curtain, including a period of time as the Chief of Protocol in the United States Federal government. Or maybe something like Grown Up Miss Miracle. I mean, even on a naming template, "Dirty Shirley" doesn't make any sense; The drink is still very balanced, and prefixing a drink with "Dirty" implies to many casual drinkers that theres a similarity with the Dirty Martini template. It's a provocative name, but its both confusing and doesn't sit right with me to sexualize a former child star from an era which was famously lacking in protection for child actors and actresses, when this is still a wonderful drink and should do better than the least common denominator. The Mary Pickford or Ginger Rogers don't sexually objectify them, so it feels out of place with Celebrity-named cocktails too. Plus, your version visually indicates that you used appropriately "grown up" ingredients and feels like a more "mature" name would suit it aestheticaly.
@@JKtheSlacker but the association with spiking a "virgin" [a designation for zero abv drinks that i hate but recognize is common] drink, named after a child -- there's a very clear sexualization there i think especially from how other drink blogs have written about it. and again, since a dirty martini already codifies the naming template of using a prefix format dirty, its a little perhaps confusing in that sense.
I have a cocktail I think you’d like to play with 2oz Hendricks .5oz lime 1oz simple Muddled bell pepper and cucumber 2-3 dashes celery bitters Heavy shake and double strain Fine as is or you can too with soda and garnish with rosemary or basil I also have a version with rosemary simple. It’s bright, herbal, and a great summer drink especially on a hot sunny day. I love gimlets so this was my twist on it.
I made some for my kids recently. 1oz homemade grenadine, with a spicy ginger beer. To make it “dirty” I add 2oz of Appleton Estate, and a few dashes of angostura bitters. garnish with a lime.
I would be shocked if the Dirty Shirley were the drink of the summer. It's not only too simple, but the differences in grenadine quality (almost Rose's, like you say) would make it too variable. That said, your ice of lime was a good call, and rum (the best alcohol) was a great call for the "Rummy Roy."
I grew up drinking Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers, and hilariously had the same but opposite experience- my mother's boyfriend who worked at a bar and grill would make me a Roy Rogers and set me at the bar to play games on my game boy, and a few times some old guy would chime in that a young lady like me should be drinking a Shirley Temple, and that I would like it better. I wasn't huge on lemon lime soda back then though. A Roy Rogers and onion rings are a comfort staple of my childhood. I still order them when I'm at a bar with friends and I don't want to drink. -This was a really fun episode, you are really on your game right now, and it's fantastic.
Is it just me, or does calling it a "Dirty" Shirley conjure up the image of adding Olive Brine to a Shirley Temple? I feel like it needs a better name, one that conveys that you're only adding alcohol instead of, uh, uninvited flavors.
For a few years growing up, my dad had my sister and me hooked on Shirley Temples with Lime. Our house recipe was Rose's grenadine, homemade 1:1 simple, club soda, and a lime wedge. I think at one point I realized we didn't really need the simple and nowadays I'm sure I'd omit it and increase the lime. I love putting way more lime than is called for in my Moscow Mules...
You can never beat a good mojito on a hot day. It might just be that I have spent many years in Tampa, FL but a majito is always the drink of summer for me.
I was a child who was constantly in and out of the hospital for intestinal issues and to the DAY ginger ale is my Favorite Soda because it was always what they gave me to cheer me up 👌👌 never had it in a Shirley temple tho
Grew up on Shirley Temples as a kid. Nowadays I do a Shirley Temple Black with grenadine, ginger ale, triple sec, lime and Red Stag Black Cherry Bourbon. Much smoother flavor then vodka.
Here's to hoping you are able to get more drink-relevant sponsorships like this in the future - totally aligned with the content of the show, relevant to my interests, even snuck a bonus cocktail recipe in there and everything! Not often I'll happily and attentively watch the ad spot all the way to the end but this was one of them. :)
MY drink of the summer is what I call the TJ Margarita. Over ice in a collins glass: - 2oz Tequila Reposado (or really any tequila or mezcal depending on your taste) - 2-3 dashes orange bitters - fill the rest with Trader Joe's Sparkling Limeade Just as easy, if not easier, and soooo good
I believe O'Charley's restaurant does or used to serve a shirley temple with cotton candy as a garnish. It would just melt and make the glass a sticky mess. Never stopped 8 year old me from ordering them though
Gin is probably what I would go with if I was using ginger ale. I make a quick ginger buck all the time at home as one of my go tos. And I love it. Ginger ale just pairs so well with gin.
I got so excited when you said Canada Dry was a comfort drink for you because you got it at Grandma's because I have basically the same association. Canada dry is a festive holiday drink in my brain because I really only ever had it at grandma's house, which we usually only went up to for special occasions because it's an hour away.
As a kid I got the sort of backwater bar version of the Shirley Temple. Instead of Sprite, 7up was used, and instead of grenadine the juice/syrup that contained the Maraschino Cherries was used.
I absolutely loved Shirley Temples a kid. Never knew how to make them until today. Thanks Greg! ♥ Also, that advert was awesome. I loved Peaky Blinders when it first came out. Didn't know they made a whiskey for it!
I remember the banquet hall that hosted most of our school events would serve them at the bar and make us kids feel fancy. Now when I'm behind the bar at family events I make Greg's version for my niblings and younger cousins so they can have a cocktail with the adults
I used to live in the Caribbean. At my house I serve rum. Rum with water, sugar, and lime juice. Rum and Coke with lime. Rum right from the bottle. And if I'm feeling fancy I might make up some Painkillers. At night it's a shot of Candela (Mamajuana) before bed. I keep it all nice and simple.
Shirley Temples and Roy Rodgers are still some of my favorite silly sugar drinks. My mom took me to hibachi restaurants in Houston a TON as a kid, like at least once a week and often more, and I pretty much exclusively had Shirley Temples. I have on more than one occasion made one just because I had the ingredients on hand.
Recipe for Rum & Grenadine Soda: Been making grenadine rum or rye sodas for a week with the homemade grenadine and i love it. 1/2 oz of grenadine in a glass of soda water is really nice on its own, but I prefer it with either 1/2 oz of rum (or 2 oz of rum if I want it to be properly alcoholic). I've tried it with Canadian Club 100% rye and it's okay, but i prefer the Appleton Estate 8 year rum. Rum & Grenadine Soda: 1/2 grenadine 4 oz seltzer 2 oz Appleton Estate - 8 yr
I was ordering sprite and grenadine as an adult for years before I knew it was called a Shirley Temple. Now I just order it by name. They're delicious, and there's no shame in enjoying awesome things.
love th4e outfit for your special message. I have not had a shirley temple since I was young. but do miss it. now I'll have to make a dirt shirley. I agree it's not a summer drink. but to each their own. thanks again cheers
I messed with this last summer and made a dirty Shirley as follows: 1 Oz grenadine 1 Oz aperol 1.5 Oz vodka Top with lemon-lime soda And 2 candied cherries Over ice, of course
The Arnold Palmer Company (apparently he actually started a company) makes a delicious hard Arnold Palmer. It’s one of those things where you have to be careful because you can barely taste the alcohol so it’s easy drink way too many
Very cool you did a video explaining the Shirley Temple. My Dad always made the Shirley Temple with Schwepp's Grapefruit Soda, Grenadine and a maraschino cherry (and sometimes a dash of maraschino cherry syrup) for a "treat" when he had the Grapefruit Soda around - otherwise it was always Sprite or 7-Up. I've made them with Ginger Ale and upgraded to Luxardo Cherries and it's pretty good.
I've made dozens of Shirley Temples in my life and only ever used Ginger Ale. Of course I also add some lemon juice and skip the cherries so maybe that colors my perception of the drink.
My own personal drink of summer is a whiskey highball. Whatever whiskey I feel like using (often redwood pipe dream) and cherry flavored bubly. very refreshing
I speak for all Canadians when I say I was disappointed when that turned out to be lemon and not orange juice, which should be an essential ingredient in a shirley temple.
I was looking for someone to mention orange juice! I was so confused since every Shirley temple I have ever had was 7up, orange juice and topped with a little grenadine I’ve never heard of one without the orange juice

Disaronno Seven (playing off seven and seven) is how this is commonly ordered at the bar. It’s actually more commonly ordered than you might think.

It's really nice to see the care out into your sponsorships compared to how some channels can be a tad more disingenuous with how they speak about a product
I’ve always vastly preferred Bushmills over Jameson so this ad really makes me want to try the new stuff. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Bushmills is a quality whiskey and I would expect a higher proof bottling previously aged in old Bourbon barrels is likely to be pretty darned good. My .02 USD
@@SimuLord hell yeah congrats man, my mom is gonna hit 25 herself in a month
It was great to see a cocktail made with the sponsored alcohol. Helps us, helps the sponsor, provides entertainment, everyone wins.
only 2 ways to do sponsor ads on youtube right, pick one you actually use and enjoy as a product yourself or go heavy on the ironic/sarcasm front while doing the ad-read
Personally I tend to build my Shirley Temples and their variants in reverse order, with the grenadine on top so it sinks down in. That way you don't end up with a pool of it at the bottom that needs to be mixed up.
As for the dirty version, I would personally go with rum and ginger ale, plus lime juice. Definitely agree that it has to be real grenadine and not the Rose's.
The sweetness problem is exacerbated by drinking with a straw from the bottom. That is where the Rose's is settling and will be sweeter.
Yeah, whenever you get a drink with grenadine/any kind of sugary syrup you've got to stir it up before taking a sip
I love Bushmills and Peaky Blinders, and I'm headed over right now to buy some of the bottles of the prohibiton formula. Much excite!
Also, the name for an alcoholic Arnold Palmer has always been a John Daly, as far as I'm aware. Another famous golfer, and drunk. Add vodka if you're trying to hide the fact that you're drinking, or bourbon if you're not.
Yep. Came here to call out the John Daly.
There’s a restaurant in the town I live in and they call it the Laura Palmer
Also came here to call out the John Daly to see been beaten to it good on you sir
I would personally push the "Slow Comfort" as my drink of summer. It's equal parts Sloe Gin and Southern Comfort topped with either orange juice or lemonade, and served on ice. It has a lovely orangy pink color to it and tastes amazing.
@@zacharyrwriter what's all in that? Sounds a bit more than what I'm making?
@@novaiscool1 Vodka, Southern Comfort, orange juice, sloe gin, and Galliano (or other vanilla liqueur).
My husband's typical summer drink for years has been the Tom Collins. It's essentially grown-up fizzy lemonade so it's a perfect refreshing drink!
When I was a kid in the 80’s my grandma’s friends would make me a Shirley Temple out of 7Up and Cherry juice. I always thought that was how they were supposed to be made. Learn something new every day.
when I was a kid, my family would make shirley temple's with split sprite and orange juice. honestly so surprised to find out thats not actually the recipe, it cuts down on the sweetness and makes it delicious 🧡 i suggest trying it like that, if you like the concept of a temple but aren't a fan of how cloying it is!
The Rummy Roy is a great drink. I think I’m going to try to make a Dirty Shirley with ginger ale and cognac instead of vodka, easy on the grenadine. I think the natural fruity sweetness of cognac would elevate the drink. Then again, a Dirty Shirley with ginger ale and rum instead of vodka would be a really nice play on a light and stormy.
Greg's learned we're all just thirsty for him and he's leaning into it with this thumbnail. Love the videos and how much fun energy you put into them!
I'm actually thirsty for classic cocktails and history again and less of the weird / unrelated stuff
@@boarderking133 Oh, i definitely enjoy the content and little lessons too! ☺️
It's funny, Shirley Temple found the drink too sweet for her. Also I'm amazed by how few people know that she was an ambassador when she was an adult.
I've seen a few cocktail books saying that the Shirley Temple is actually lemonade, ginger ale and grenadine. Which I love. The kiddie cocktail being the Sprite and grenadine mocktail you're making.
Maybe add grenadine to the mojito? Perhaps grenadine is the syrup of this summer?
You should do a video on fan submitted cocktails and you rate them and try to improve or at least rebalance them if you think they need to be; here’s my cocktail, the Sherman’s March:
1 part De Kyper peach “Schnapps” (or southern comfort if you have terrible taste)
2 parts Fireball
Sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon or cinnamon sugar, and chili powder, add ice and mix; optionally garnish with lemon or lemon juice, peach slice, or mint sprig
You call out soco as being for people with bad taste but somehow fireball and de kuypers isn't? Lol
How is no one talking about the sponsored bit? One of my favorite channels has a direct sponsorship with a TV show that I just started watching? This is the Proof We've been waiting for. After all; There Are No Coincidences. Remember, Brethren, They Are Ever Vigilant. 🤣
Weird to say, but I loved the sponsored spot. It's more of the same kind of content I come to this channel for!
Right? Loved the old style when Greg actually made classic cocktails and went into their history and variations.
I definitely experienced the gendering of drinks described in this video- I remember at the holiday parties we attended for my mom's hospital, the bartenders at the venue would make you a Shirley Temple if they perceived you as female or a Roy Rogers if they perceived you as male. My preferred non-binary pink drink is a Salty Dog: shake 2:1 or 3:1 London dry gin with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice over ice. Salt your rim. Top with seltzer if you want a longer-lasting highball drink. It's beautiful, and the floral nose that comes from the combination of gin & grapefruit is glorious!
As far as summer cocktails go, nothing beats mojitos imo. In the last year or so though I've discovered gose beers and those have changed the game for me. They're basically what you'd get if you wanted to make a mojito beer but they have a long history and are amazingly tasty. There's a local microbrewery that makes a hibiscus and lavander gose and that shit's a real banger I gotta say.
I've been making my own take on Dirty Shirley for over 7 years, and its amazing how in this video you mention how the NYT is saying folks are treating it with ironic nostalgia... because every time I make it (with Ole Smoky Moonshine instead of vodka) it reminds me of when I was a kid wandering around in my small town's small bowling alleys wondering what the alcohol the adults were drinking tasted like. My own sort of nostalgia! So maybe its more an ironic nostalgia drink than a "drink of summer."
When I was a kid my mom would make me a Shirley Temple and make a Dirty Shirley for herself. She called it a Shirley Temple Black though and told me that when she grew up and got married, that was her name. I tried ordering one in a bar when I turned 21, but I've never met a bartender who heard of it by that name. I've heard some people say that a Shirley Temple Black is with whiskey or bourbon, but I've never seen one served or ordered in a bar that way.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking--I'd never heard "Dirty Shirley" until recently; I'd heard of Shirley Temple Black as a Shirley Temple with some sort of dark liquor (I thought it was Kahlua or coffee-flavored but whiskey makes much more sense)
A few years back, say 2003-2004, there was a ltd ed Sprite variation with an icy mint flavor called Sprite Ice. Me and my buddies drank Sprite Ice+Jagermeister the whole summer. The mint really worked with the herbaceousness of the Jager. Ice cold Jager, lots of ice, and Sprite Ice. Refreshing AF. They've long since discontinued Sprite Ice (at least in Canada) but that strange mix remains my favorite Summer Drink.
Tbh, I’ve never heard of that variety…
couldnt you add some mint syrup to sprite and then make your favorite drink again?
@@frankgelder8519 I've come close, but nothing ever matched the "drinking icy cold Sprite while chewing 5 Gum" sensation. Now I just drink whiskey, it's my summer fall winter spring drink.
Adding a little orange juice to a Shirley temple can help fix some of the over sweetness and is actually really good
I always thought to make the Shirley temple with lime juice grenadine and soda of choice. I think it would help balance that sweetness you were getting from the first two.
My recipe for a spiced Roy Rogers (still no alcohol):
"Hot Rogers":
Start with no ice in your glass
A pinch, or a couple of grinds, of black pepper at the bottom of the glass
Add 2oz cola (Coke, RC, Pepsi - sweeter isn't always better)
Add a splash of grenadine
A pinch of ground coriander seed on top
Add some crushed ice and stir
Top with a few leaves (a sprig) of mint
Fun fact: in most countries here in Europe a lot of lemon and sugar are always present in our iced tea recipes. So what you call Arnold Palmer - we simply call "iced tea".
The ones I make are called gin temples. Ginger ale, fanciest most expensive maraschino cherries taken from someone else, and empress gin. Very tasty and the purple, deep red, and yellow colors all mix very interestingly.
I usually make mine with 7up, I was honestly not aware that Sprite was the usual soft drink used for it. And isn't an alcoholic Arnold Palmer a John Daly?
THANK YOU. Came here to say the same thing. Drives me nuts how many people seem to ignore the fact that an alcoholic Arnold Palmer is a John Daly!
Country Club employee here, it’s a John Daley.
I honestly can’t believe he didn’t k ow that’s what it’s called
Shirley Temples were my favorite drink when my family used to go to our favorite Chinese restaurant way back in the day. It really has a special place in my heart ^w^
I wanted to suggest naming the alcoholic version of the Arnold Palmer the Happy Gilmore, but apparently that's already a drink... apparently the tea is infused in the vodka and in addition to the lemonade there's orange liqueur, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice.
Sidebar, I'm pushing 40 and had only just heard of a Roy Rogers today.
It’s called a John Daly
I have been making a basic spiked “Arnold Palmer” since college by taking 1.5oz of lemon vodka (I use deep eddy) and topping it up with unsweetened iced tea. Extremely simple and not too sweet, it’s the platonic ideal of a summertime porch drink.
All of the cherries in this made me think of a question. I use Old Smoky Moonshine Cherries as a garnish for my Old Fashion. For the first time every I used up a jar with having it seal shut on me. So now I have half a mason jar of cherry infused moonshine. I'm sure I can do something special with this, what do you suggest?
Holy crap, that one of the best sponsored spots in any video I have seen so fa on RUclips. Looks amazing, works amazing with the show and the audience. Also Greg looks cool AF in that outfit.
The Shirley Temple, with Sprite, is a fond part of my childhood with my grandparents at shows in Las Vegas.
My family and I have vacationed to the same spot in Michigan nearly every year my entire life. There's a nice restaurant we always make a point of eating at and I always, always got a Shirley Temple there growing up. Even now that I can drink I always get a Shirley Temple there at least once per trip. They're amazing.
Fill a glass half-full with ice cubes.
Add a half a cup of orange juice and half a cup of Sprite or 7UP.
Then gently pour in a tablespoon of grenadine.
Top with an orange slice wrapped cherry on a cocktail stick.
Wisconsinite here, Shirley Temple is what you drink with your family at the bar. On occasion a little wine at those wine tasting sessions and then grass hoppers and pink squirrels, just a taste. Just my experience as a child.
Great ideas and presentation in this video, but I have a thought I'd like to share and folks on reddit pushed against it ---
I sometimes wish the cocktail community could move past the way the Dirty Shirley moniker is used -- i have no issues with sexually named drinks, but ones that verge on bad taste or making innuendo about a person most well known as a child. If its an "adult" version, why not Shirley Black, or Temple Black, something thereof? After all, that was the surname name she used as an adult, which included a long career as US Ambassador to not only Ghana, but to Czechoslovakia before the fall of the Iron Curtain, including a period of time as the Chief of Protocol in the United States Federal government. Or maybe something like Grown Up Miss Miracle. I mean, even on a naming template, "Dirty Shirley" doesn't make any sense; The drink is still very balanced, and prefixing a drink with "Dirty" implies to many casual drinkers that theres a similarity with the Dirty Martini template. It's a provocative name, but its both confusing and doesn't sit right with me to sexualize a former child star from an era which was famously lacking in protection for child actors and actresses, when this is still a wonderful drink and should do better than the least common denominator. The Mary Pickford or Ginger Rogers don't sexually objectify them, so it feels out of place with Celebrity-named cocktails too. Plus, your version visually indicates that you used appropriately "grown up" ingredients and feels like a more "mature" name would suit it aestheticaly.
Dirty doesn't necessarily imply sexualization - sometimes, dirty is just not clean.
@@JKtheSlacker but the association with spiking a "virgin" [a designation for zero abv drinks that i hate but recognize is common] drink, named after a child -- there's a very clear sexualization there i think especially from how other drink blogs have written about it. and again, since a dirty martini already codifies the naming template of using a prefix format dirty, its a little perhaps confusing in that sense.
I have a cocktail I think you’d like to play with
2oz Hendricks
.5oz lime
1oz simple
Muddled bell pepper and cucumber
2-3 dashes celery bitters
Heavy shake and double strain
Fine as is or you can too with soda and garnish with rosemary or basil
I also have a version with rosemary simple.
It’s bright, herbal, and a great summer drink especially on a hot sunny day. I love gimlets so this was my twist on it.
I made some for my kids recently. 1oz homemade grenadine, with a spicy ginger beer. To make it “dirty” I add 2oz of Appleton Estate, and a few dashes of angostura bitters. garnish with a lime.
Greg's Drink of the Season is a series I need in my life.
I would be shocked if the Dirty Shirley were the drink of the summer. It's not only too simple, but the differences in grenadine quality (almost Rose's, like you say) would make it too variable.
That said, your ice of lime was a good call, and rum (the best alcohol) was a great call for the "Rummy Roy."
I grew up drinking Shirley Temples and Roy Rogers, and hilariously had the same but opposite experience- my mother's boyfriend who worked at a bar and grill would make me a Roy Rogers and set me at the bar to play games on my game boy, and a few times some old guy would chime in that a young lady like me should be drinking a Shirley Temple, and that I would like it better. I wasn't huge on lemon lime soda back then though.
A Roy Rogers and onion rings are a comfort staple of my childhood.
I still order them when I'm at a bar with friends and I don't want to drink.
-This was a really fun episode, you are really on your game right now, and it's fantastic.
Is it just me, or does calling it a "Dirty" Shirley conjure up the image of adding Olive Brine to a Shirley Temple? I feel like it needs a better name, one that conveys that you're only adding alcohol instead of, uh, uninvited flavors.
For a few years growing up, my dad had my sister and me hooked on Shirley Temples with Lime. Our house recipe was Rose's grenadine, homemade 1:1 simple, club soda, and a lime wedge. I think at one point I realized we didn't really need the simple and nowadays I'm sure I'd omit it and increase the lime. I love putting way more lime than is called for in my Moscow Mules...
Fun video! Congrats on the Bushmills sponsorship. They’re one of my favorites for irish whiskey cocktails!
You can never beat a good mojito on a hot day. It might just be that I have spent many years in Tampa, FL but a majito is always the drink of summer for me.
I was a child who was constantly in and out of the hospital for intestinal issues and to the DAY ginger ale is my Favorite Soda because it was always what they gave me to cheer me up 👌👌 never had it in a Shirley temple tho
Arnold Palmer with honey whiskey is the way to go! That's always my drink of summer lol
My grandpa used to make Shirley Temples with Squirt, which totally kicks the drink up a notch.
Grew up on Shirley Temples as a kid. Nowadays I do a Shirley Temple Black with grenadine, ginger ale, triple sec, lime and Red Stag Black Cherry Bourbon. Much smoother flavor then vodka.
I always remembered having Shirley temples being 7up and maraschino cherry juice. Perfection.
Just made a Rummy Roy with my new homemade grenadine made to your spec and maaaaan this is tasty. Cheers Greg and Merideth!
Anyone else notice how much Greg sways? I just noticed it in this video and cant stop watching it.
Here's to hoping you are able to get more drink-relevant sponsorships like this in the future - totally aligned with the content of the show, relevant to my interests, even snuck a bonus cocktail recipe in there and everything! Not often I'll happily and attentively watch the ad spot all the way to the end but this was one of them. :)
MY drink of the summer is what I call the TJ Margarita. Over ice in a collins glass:
- 2oz Tequila Reposado (or really any tequila or mezcal depending on your taste)
- 2-3 dashes orange bitters
- fill the rest with Trader Joe's Sparkling Limeade
Just as easy, if not easier, and soooo good
Ginger ale is a underrated soda. Yet fits in quite well with cocktails and mix drinks
I believe O'Charley's restaurant does or used to serve a shirley temple with cotton candy as a garnish. It would just melt and make the glass a sticky mess. Never stopped 8 year old me from ordering them though
Gin is probably what I would go with if I was using ginger ale. I make a quick ginger buck all the time at home as one of my go tos. And I love it. Ginger ale just pairs so well with gin.
Greg going above and beyond with his costumes
I made my own dirty Shirley using maraschino "juice", grenadine, and a can of Seagram's black cherry. Was pretty good.
When I was growing up in Wisconsin, they called these Kiddie Cocktails. And I had ALOT of these growing up.
Haven't been here in a while, nice to see it's just as good as when I left. A touch better, even
Welcome back!
I'm with you on the mojito as the drink of the summer. If not that, then the Pimm's Cup.
Ah, I also grew up in bars and have an unnatural fondness for Shirley Temples decades later, so this episode really hits home for me.
I got so excited when you said Canada Dry was a comfort drink for you because you got it at Grandma's because I have basically the same association.
Canada dry is a festive holiday drink in my brain because I really only ever had it at grandma's house, which we usually only went up to for special occasions because it's an hour away.
I have ALWAYS had Shirley Temples with orange juice. Not by request. It just came that way.
As a kid I got the sort of backwater bar version of the Shirley Temple. Instead of Sprite, 7up was used, and instead of grenadine the juice/syrup that contained the Maraschino Cherries was used.
I absolutely loved Shirley Temples a kid. Never knew how to make them until today. Thanks Greg! ♥ Also, that advert was awesome. I loved Peaky Blinders when it first came out. Didn't know they made a whiskey for it!
I remember the banquet hall that hosted most of our school events would serve them at the bar and make us kids feel fancy. Now when I'm behind the bar at family events I make Greg's version for my niblings and younger cousins so they can have a cocktail with the adults
I always get a Ginger Ale as my courtesy drink on an airplane.
I used to live in the Caribbean. At my house I serve rum. Rum with water, sugar, and lime juice. Rum and Coke with lime. Rum right from the bottle. And if I'm feeling fancy I might make up some Painkillers. At night it's a shot of Candela (Mamajuana) before bed. I keep it all nice and simple.
Shirley Temples and Roy Rodgers are still some of my favorite silly sugar drinks. My mom took me to hibachi restaurants in Houston a TON as a kid, like at least once a week and often more, and I pretty much exclusively had Shirley Temples. I have on more than one occasion made one just because I had the ingredients on hand.
I liked today's episode, but I *loved* the ad-read.
Recipe for Rum & Grenadine Soda:
Been making grenadine rum or rye sodas for a week with the homemade grenadine and i love it.
1/2 oz of grenadine in a glass of soda water is really nice on its own, but I prefer it with either 1/2 oz of rum (or 2 oz of rum if I want it to be properly alcoholic). I've tried it with Canadian Club 100% rye and it's okay, but i prefer the Appleton Estate 8 year rum.
Rum & Grenadine Soda:
1/2 grenadine
4 oz seltzer
2 oz Appleton Estate - 8 yr
Life Hack: Demerara Syrup Substitute
- simple syrup
- drop or so of molasses
Mix well and use with your drink
I was ordering sprite and grenadine as an adult for years before I knew it was called a Shirley Temple. Now I just order it by name. They're delicious, and there's no shame in enjoying awesome things.
love th4e outfit for your special message. I have not had a shirley temple since I was young. but do miss it. now I'll have to make a dirt shirley. I agree it's not a summer drink. but to each their own. thanks again cheers
glad to have a classic "heres a drink, heres some history, heres a couple ways to make it" htd episode :D
I messed with this last summer and made a dirty Shirley as follows:
1 Oz grenadine
1 Oz aperol
1.5 Oz vodka
Top with lemon-lime soda
And 2 candied cherries
Over ice, of course
Dude, that prohibition get-up is SHARP!
Dark&Stormy is my go-to summer drink. Ginger beer is nice and refreshing considering it has that spicy bite.
I had my local bar make it with vodka, liquor 43, sprite and their house-made grenadine. Absolutely SLAPPED.
The Arnold Palmer Company (apparently he actually started a company) makes a delicious hard Arnold Palmer. It’s one of those things where you have to be careful because you can barely taste the alcohol so it’s easy drink way too many
Very cool you did a video explaining the Shirley Temple. My Dad always made the Shirley Temple with Schwepp's Grapefruit Soda, Grenadine and a maraschino cherry (and sometimes a dash of maraschino cherry syrup) for a "treat" when he had the Grapefruit Soda around - otherwise it was always Sprite or 7-Up. I've made them with Ginger Ale and upgraded to Luxardo Cherries and it's pretty good.
Bushmills is hands down THE BEST whiskey this recipe is AMAZING
I've made dozens of Shirley Temples in my life and only ever used Ginger Ale. Of course I also add some lemon juice and skip the cherries so maybe that colors my perception of the drink.
Best thumbnail yet
My go-to summer drink is an Arnold Palmer with Rye whiskey to cut some of the sweetness of the lemonade.
This episode had a surprising amount of personal tidbits. I really enjoyed that. Cheers, Greg 🥃
A Shirley twist I like is swapping out the soda for ginger beer. The spice helps with the sweetness.
My own personal drink of summer is a whiskey highball. Whatever whiskey I feel like using (often redwood pipe dream) and cherry flavored bubly. very refreshing
That thumbnail is pure gold.
I speak for all Canadians when I say I was disappointed when that turned out to be lemon and not orange juice, which should be an essential ingredient in a shirley temple.
I was looking for someone to mention orange juice! I was so confused since every Shirley temple I have ever had was 7up, orange juice and topped with a little grenadine
I’ve never heard of one without the orange juice
