Nutritional information
1 cocktail (150ml)Tips & Notes
Use authentic pomegranate-based grenadine instead of artificial cherry syrup for superior flavor and color
Chill all ingredients beforehand to maintain the drink's refreshing quality and prevent excessive dilution
Pour the soda slowly over the back of a bar spoon to create a beautiful layered gradient effect
For a less sweet version, substitute half the lemon-lime soda with club soda
Can I make this drink sweeter?
Yes, reduce the grenadine to 15-20ml or replace half the club soda with lemon-lime soda for a sweeter version.
What if I don't have grenadine syrup?
You can substitute with pomegranate juice mixed with simple syrup, or use raspberry or cherry syrup as alternatives.
Can I use ginger ale instead of club soda?
Absolutely! Ginger ale creates a slightly different but equally delicious flavor profile with more spice and complexity.

Add 30-45ml of vodka to create a “Dirty Shirley” – a popular adult variation of this classic mocktail.
