Notes
This drink is traditionally garnished with maraschino cherries, but you can garnish it with other fruit. Optionally add slices of ginger as a garnish that adds a pleasant flavor. Nutritional information is based on using a commercial grenadine in the amounts listed above. You may switch out the lemon juice and seltzer water for a store-bought soda like 7-Up, Sprite or Ginger Ale. (That will obviously change the nutritional information.)To make a "Dirty Shirley," you can "spike" this mocktail with and ounce or two of vodka or another spirit.
