I can't lie but I think like this video with Chris all the way through, seeing you both together and the way you interact with eachother is just so refreshing, he was so optimistic with the espresso and orange juice trying to find a way to make it nice.

A shirley temple recipe from a bartender: 1/3 sprite/7up A few splashes of ginger ale Fill to 3/4 full with orange juice Add a few splashes of cranberry Add 1/4 oz grenadine If you want a dirty Shirley, vodka is the most popular. People also enjoy white rum. However, any light coloured liquor would work:)

[@desireep7113]

Yes, thank you! It's not a Shirley Temple without the orange juice at least! If you'd rather switch and make a Rob Roy, substitute the lemon lime soda with a cola.

[@lindsaymcmullin2756]

I live in Utah and can confirm the popularity of the dirty soda thing. There’s a soda shop on every corner where you can get endless combinations of concoctions. My mom and sister like coke with raspberry purée, coconut and lime? I don’t understand it

[@wearelegion1163]

I recently moved to SLC area & there's a place down the road that advertises "loaded" sodas, which I guess is the same type of thing. I haven't tried it yet.

[@tayygordo]

Haha Utah have SO many drink places!! Sodalicious, swig, fiiz, sipn, soda retreat etc.

Espresso+Orange juice+Ice is called Bumble where I am from. They serve it everywhere in summer. First you put ice in a glass, then pour juice over it, then a shot of espresso. Sometimes you put caramel syrop on the bottom of the glass if you like a sweeter drink. The drink looks like the stripes of a bumble bee, it's very pretty. The ratio of juice to espresso is 2/1. The drink is versatile and can be served hot in winter. The combination of sweet and fruity+bitter is not everyone's favorite, but the way you completely destroyed it made me sad. And on a side note: the price of a Bumble is the same as a no-syrop Ice Latte.

[@smurray0135]

Thank you for sharing. I learned something new today.

Thank you !!! I was sad they didn't like it. I'm from Ukraine and it's called Бджміль here and is served everywhere!

I don't get the jam in Seltzer thing. In Germany/Europe we just put juice in our carbonated water, works perfectly fine.

[@annalewis680]

Just because that works fine doesn't mean something else doesn't also work fine.

[@ToothlessCos]

@@annalewis680 yeah... but why tho. Juice mixes way easier without you having to stir all the carbonation out of it. I don't know much about what kind of juices you have in America, but the jam flavours they put in there would easily be found as a juice in german grocery stores. So I don't really get why you would use jam, looks like way more of a hassle to me.

[@runningstarr72]

Lol America does that too, this is just a new things going around

[@illyriancrybaby]

@@ToothlessCos not to mention even if you buy a big bottle of fresh juice of any kind, it would still be cheaper and overall healthier and easier than jam😂

[@melaniereynders]

Juice would be great, but I often don’t have juice in my fridge… although I wouldn’t buy unflavoured carbonated water either so I wouldn’t need juice or jam to make it taste good.

[@bcgrote]

"Shrub" is a vinegar based drink that has been around for thousands of years! Healthy, refreshing, delicious! Try a white balsamic or flavored vinegar in regular water.

[@ItsJustLisa]

Yup! There’s a woman at my local farmers market that sells different shrubs. They’re really good.

[@emilyradeka7895]

Dirty Shirley is one of my favorites to make, I use Deep Eddy’s lemon vodka and 7-up and it helps cut the grenadine sweetness a bit

[@sarahschmitt4354]

First one is a spin-off of tonic espresso, just with orange juice. It is delicious, but should be served ice cold and less juice. :) love it during summer

[@sedmidivka]

less juice and I suggest freshly squeezed

[@pamiudoff7883]

About the espresso orange juice drink: When we were little, my brother and I wanted to “pull a prank” on my parents by serving them a “magic drink” that was coffee, orange juice, and coke, thinking it would taste terrible. They said it was delicious. Now I think they lied to us 😂🤣 lol

[@xDarkTrinityx]

Well coke and coffee is a real thing. Maybe coke adds the sweetness that concoction needed?

[@alouettek]

There’s actually a drink made with espresso and orange liquor amor something like that, I’ve had it but it’s pretty strong even for a coffe lover and I used to work at a cafeteria were they offered iced coffee with mineral water and apparently made the caffeine kicked in stronger (and you know, there’s coke with coffee, so I guess if it’s done right it can be tasty)

[@ghirsch80]

I would line the glass with the sour patch sugar from the bag!

[@kathrynlarsen3683]

As a bartender, my father always made Shirly temples with 7-up. So that would give you the Lemon lime thing you are missing with the Dirty Shirly.

[@CherrrrBear]

Yep 👍 same

[@christyconyers766]

The balsamic vinegar one is actually really good if you use good quality flavored balsamic. For example I have a vanilla balsamic and that actually tasted fantastic. Not like Coke though.

[@bethswaim5131]

Is it supposed to be balsamic like for topping a caprese or balsamic vinegar?

[@dawnchesbro4189]

@@bethswaim5131 the balsamic for caprese is balsamic vinegar. There's aged balsamic vinegar that sweetens as it ages. I have a 25 year aged balsamic vinegar that I love to drizzle over strawberries and vanilla ice cream YUM. But the grocery store staple balsamic vinegar is usually only aged a year at best. Find aged vinegars and you'll openba world of complex flavors!

[@dawnchesbro4189]

I honestly would avoid flavored balsamic vinegar. They don't age well with off flavors after a year and they are usually made with artificial flavors. It's never as tasty as a high quality aged balsamic vinegar from Italy. As balsamic ages, it sweetens. If you do want to have vanilla balsamic, make your own! Take a good 8 or 10 year balsamic vinegar and add scraped vanilla pods. Let it sit in a cool corner of your pantry and shake it occasionally. Keeps forever. Low on balsamic, add more, no need to change the vanilla pods.

I’d be interested in a version of the Balsamic drink with strawberry seltzer (or even seltzer mixed with strawberry jam.) I love the combo of strawberries and balsamic. Maybe a little vanilla too?

I prefer Shirley Temples (dirty or not) with Sprite instead of ginger ale. It doesn't make it overtly citrus-y but a little tart and a bit less purely sweet than with ginger ale.

[@erikapaventi3009]

So my husband was a barista at Starbucks for 6 years, and coffee and orange juice is something they used to do with new people because it’s one of those “It can’t possibly work” things. He told me the key to having it taste okay, or even good, is you need a coffee with a really high acidity. He says that the coffees that the orange juice will go best with are African in origin because they tend to have a higher acidity in their profile. Matching coffee to what you’re mixing it with is super important to having them taste good.

[@all4you89]

Dirty Shirley was one of my go-to drinks in college. It's probably too sweet for my tastes now, but man the nostalgia!

For the flavored syrups they just use the ones by Torani, so if you wanted to try those you could probably just get them online. And really you can go with any flavor profile you want.
