The article discusses the evolution of the classic Shirley Temple into the dirty Shirley—a popular cocktail that gained prominence in 2023. By substituting standard ingredients with Luxardo maraschino cherries and using syrup from the jar instead of grenadine, the drink can be transformed into a more sophisticated cocktail. Expert Jayden Mohun emphasizes the importance of choosing quality cherries, as they bring true cherry flavor rather than the candy-like taste of standard maraschinos. The article also hints at ways to elevate the non-alcoholic Shirley Temple.
"For the best dirty Shirley, Luxardo maraschino cherries are the ideal choice, offering a rich, signature flavor that enhances the cocktail."
Standard bright red bar cherries lack the depth and richness that Luxardo provides, which are soaked in their own syrup and made from marasca cherries.
