These orange Dirty Shirley cocktails are the best for bachelorette parties, bridal showers, and parties! It's a fancy, less-sweet version of the traditional Dirty Shirley with vodka, orange liqueur, grenadine, fresh lime, and lemon soda. It's simple, fun, and super refreshing!

For a batch cocktail
In a pitcher or punch bowl, add the vodka, Triple Sec, grenadine, and lime juice. Stir, cover, and refrigerate until you're ready to serve the cocktail.
Right before serving, add the lemon soda. Stir well to combine. Serve over ice and garnish with boozy cherries and lime wedges, if desired.
Notes
*For a sweeter cocktail, use 1 ounce of grenadine.**I like San Pellegrino Limonata or Lorina sparkling lemonade. If you want a less sweet cocktail, use lemon seltzer in place of the lemon soda.***You can double or triple the recipe for a larger crowd.
