Shirley Moshi Recipe

Chill glass

Place a tall Collins or highball glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice and water while you prepare ingredients to chill it quickly.

If using fresh orange juice, squeeze and measure 2 fl oz. If using yuzu syrup or white peach syrup, have it measured and ready.

Fill the chilled glass with the ice cubes, leaving about 1 inch of headspace.

Pour the house grenadine over the ice first — this creates the drink's signature layered color.

Add the freshly squeezed orange juice directly over the grenadine.

Slowly pour 8 fl oz Sprite (or lemon-lime soda) into the glass; pour down the side or over the back of a spoon to preserve some layering and avoid excessive fizzing.

If you prefer a lighter mouthfeel, top with up to 2 fl oz club soda and stir gently to combine the flavors. If not using club soda, give one gentle stir to integrate the orange and grenadine with the soda.

Add 1/2 tsp yuzu syrup for a bright citrus-forward Shirley Moshi, or 1/2 tsp white peach syrup for a stone-fruit, floral version. Gently stir once to incorporate—do not over-stir to preserve effervescence.

Garnish with an orange wheel on the rim and a maraschino cherry dropped in the glass (optional).

Serve immediately with a straw. Encourage the guest to give it a gentle stir before drinking if they want a fully blended flavor; otherwise the layered look and gradual mixing are part of the experience.
