This summer when you’re thinking about making your next mixed drink, add in a Discover Wisconsin favorite… Jolly Good Soda! Thanks to all of their fun flavors, it sure does make it easy to make an easy and delicious mocktail or cocktail to enjoy all summer long. 

Dirty Shirley 

As many sources have shared, the Dirty Shirley has been unofficially named the 2022 Drink of Summer. What better way to create this delicious cocktail than with a Jolly Good Soda to pair? A Dirty Shirley is a classic and delicious drink that has been a fan favorite for quite some time, here is the Jolly Good Soda version!

Here’s the recipe:

• ½ oz of Grenadine
• 1 ½ oz of Vodka
• 2 shots of Jolly Good Sour Pow’r Soda
• 2 shots of Jolly Good Cherry Soda
• Top with a Maraschino cherry

If you’re wanting a non-alcoholic option, all you have to do is remove the Vodka from the recipe and there you have it… A delicious summer mocktail!

Orange Creamsicle

A dreamy summer drink that imitates a delicious popsicle is something you’ll definitely want to test out this summer! This Orange Creamsicle cocktail is perfect for a hot day to cool off or something to relax after a long day of work. We’re pairing it up with a Discover Wisconsin favorite, Jolly Good Orange Soda. 

Here’s the recipe:
