Dirty Shirley

Name: Dirty Shirley
Ingredients: 2 oz vodka; 1 oz grenadine; 8 oz lemon-lime soda — Sprite, 7-Up, etc.; Maraschino cherry

highball · vodka

Grenadine is the whole drink here — the vodka just adds consequences. Use real pomegranate grenadine and it turns into a proper highball; use the corn syrup kind and it stays a kid's drink somebody spiked, which is a decision, not an accident. I have ordered this out loud, in a real bar.
