We’ll always look back fondly on the frosés and Aperol spritzes of years past…but it’s time to try this summer’s hottest cocktail, the Dirty Shirley—that’s a Shirley Temple spiked with vodka, for the uninitiated. To make it even more refresh (and nostalgic), we turned this trendy bev into a frozen slushie. It’s cute like its namesake…but be warned: It’s potent.
