Kris Kringle Shirley (or Dirty Shirley)

Posted · by The Hangry Wife

🎅🏼 Kris Kringle Shirley…but you can make this one dirty 😉

A little Christmas magic in a Santa glass! Bubbly and topped with a mountain of whipped cream and all the festive finishing touches.

Make this as a mocktail or add vanilla vodka to get this one on the naughty list. Maybe Santa wants a Shirley instead of milk this Christmas 😉
