Dirty Shirley Recipe

by Mary Neumann · Leave a Comment · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today I am sharing the tasty adult version for a childhood favorite drink – a vodka-spiked Shirley Temple, aka, Dirty Shirley.

Dirty Shirley Recipe (Easy)

The Dirty Shirley is a fun adult version of the sentimental childhood favorite mocktail, Shirley Temple. This delicious, easy to make drink has vodka, lemon-lime soda, grenadine, is served over ice and garnished with maraschino cherries. Cheers to growing up!

Shirley Temple was THE DRINK of my childhood. On special occasions my grandpa would order Shirley Temples for the grandkids, it was such a treat and one of my favorite childhood memories. *I’m sentimental and love to serve these nostalgic drinks in vintage Anchor Hocking “Wexford” pattern glassware (old school glasses), the same glasses my grandparents had growing up. A toast to them.

I carried on the tradition with my girls, ordering Shirley Temples on special occasions when they were little. The Dirty Shirley was actually introduced to me by my oldest, a recent college graduate. In March of 2020, when we were all stuck at home, we wanted to make things we would order going out to dinner, Shirley Temples and Dirty Shirleys were at the top of the list. Boy did we make a lot of them over the last two years.

(Be sure to check out the original, kid version for the awesome classic – Shirley Temple)

According to the New York Times, the Dirty Shirley is the drink of summer! #HotGirlSummer

Not only is this a great summer drink, it’s perfect for parties, holidays, game night, any day of the week. 🙂

Copycat Jello 1-2-3 Layered Dessert (Easy)

by Mary Neumann · 4 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s share is a fun throwback from the 1970s, Copycat Jello 1-2-3!

Copycat Jello 1-2-3 Layered Dessert

With just 3 ingredients using your favorite flavor of Jello, a tub of Cool Whip and water, you can recreate the 3 layers – a creamy layer, a fluffy layer and a fruity Jello layer…childhood nostalgia in a cup. Cool, creamy, fruity…delicious!

Jello 1-2-3 was a popular dessert from the 1970s. It was introduced in 1969 and discontinued in 1996. The fun dessert came in strawberry, orange, lime, cherry and raspberry.

WHO GREW UP ON JELLO 1-2-3?!

Last April I shared a fun Facebook post, asking what 1960s and 1970s food item had disappeared, Jello 1-2-3 was one of the top responses. So many people shared how much they loved and missed this old school treat.

There are several copycat recipes out there. Some call for using a blender, others call for using ice, there is also a recipe using homemade whipping cream instead of Cool Whip.

I opted for the easiest way to make the dessert, that was as simple as 1,2,3, and LOVED the result… fantastic!

This dessert is the perfect cool treat for summer, but fun to serve year round and during the holidays.

Please Note: This is NOT a sponsored post. I have no affiliation with any of the products/companies shared in this post – JELL-O, Cool Whip or the Kraft Heinz Company. I am just a fan of this throwback recipe.

Save Recipe to Pinterest

Ingredients

1 large box of your favorite flavor of JELL-O (6 ounce box)
3 cups of boiling water
8 ounce tub of Cool Whip (frozen)

Directions

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil then add the Jello and water in a large heat resistant bowl, stirring until completely dissolved.

Next, add 2/3 of the frozen Cool Whip (reserving 1/3 in the fridge to use later) to the Jello while it is still warm. Stir well until completely blended. Fill small clear glasses 2/3 full. I use 9 ounce clear plastic cups.

Place in fridge for 3 hours and allow to set.

When ready, add the remaining cool whip on top, dividing and spreading evenly in each cup/glass. Serve and enjoy!

*Recipe makes 6 servings using 9 ounce cups. Store in fridge.

Tip

Be sure to use a bowl or large measuring cup that allows for easy pouring. I used my large Pampered Chef 4 cup measuring cup for mixing – it was super easy and clean when pouring into the cups.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers!
