Welcome to the first official weekend of summer. In honor of my personal favorite season of the year, I thought it would be fun to celebrate the weekends with a Friday happy hour featuring a different cocktail each week.

This week we are trying the adult version of the childhood favorite, Shirley Temple. The Dirty Shirley is basically a cherry limeade for adults.

I used THIS RECIPE with a few tweaks based on the ingredients I had on hand. Instead of lemon-lime soda, I used Cherry 7-Up Zero. I had no fresh limes so I used my favorite drink hack. THIS pure lime juice works well in a pinch when fresh limes are not an option.

Cheers to the first weekend of summer! May we all stay cool and refreshed in the heat – preferably near a body of water when at all possible.
