# Spiked Soda Cocktails Dirty Shirley.Spikes a Popular Non-Alcoholic Drink By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2022-05-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-shirley References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/black-infusions-launches-dirty-shirley-rtd-301544535.html)  Dirty Shirley is a new ready-to-drink canned cocktail based on the popular non-alcoholic drink that's now been made into an adult version with a shot of vodka. The Black Infusions Dirty Shirley RTD is a drink that recalls the nostalgia of ordering a Shirley Temple as a child. This conveniently canned cocktail is made with dark cherry vodka, naturally infused with real cherries and it is free from artificial sugar, colors and ingredients. As such, Black Infusions Dirty Shirley is so unlike the "syrupy, verging on sickly sweet" version of the popular soda cocktail that's served in restaurants and bars. Black Infusions Dirty Shirley RTD joins other fresh and fruity options like Dark Cherry, Black Fig and Gold Apricot. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spiked Soda Cocktails:** Opportunity to create new spiked soda cocktail flavors using natural ingredients. - **Ready-to-drink Canned Cocktails:** Opportunity to disrupt the traditional bar experience with convenient and portable canned cocktails. - **Nostalgia-inspired Cocktails:** Opportunity to create cocktails that evoke childhood memories with a more mature twist. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcoholic Beverages:** Opportunity to create new alcoholic beverage products that cater to the growing demand for natural ingredients. - **Packaged Foods and Beverages:** Opportunity to innovate in the packaged beverage industry with eco-friendly and convenient packaging options - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Opportunity to offer unique nostalgic-themed cocktails in bars and restaurants to attract a wider customer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nostalgic High-ABV Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-shirley-extra-dirty.md) - [RTD Cherry-Vanilla Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-shirley-with-cherry-vanilla.md) - [Reimagined Nostalgic Bottled Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-shirley-1.md) - [Adult-Themed Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-luau-dirty-shirley.md) - [Cheerful Fizzy Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-call-me-shirley.md) - [Party-Ready Mini Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drinks-bureau.md) - [Canned Shirley Temples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shirleys.md) - [Spiked Dirty Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiked-dirty-soda.md) - [Classical Non-Alcoholic Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-virgin.md)
