There’s a New Secret Menu Item at Iconic NYC Bar The Gold Room That Will Bring You Back to Childhood

Spotted in The Gold Room: those in the know sipping on The Palace’s Dirty Shirley.

The Lotte New York Palace is currently serving their own twist on a Dirty Shirley, the cocktail inspired by the childhood classic, a Shirley Temple. While it’s not officially on the menu, Us Weekly can confirm that when you ask for The Palace’s Dirty Shirley, you’re in for a treat and a trip back to your youth when ginger ale, grenadine and a maraschino cherry was the biggest treat ever.

The Palace’s Dirty Shirley’s ingredients are Grey Goose vodka, Crème de Framboise, Luxardo, Moet Imperial Rose Champagne and lemon — but the best part is that the $30 cocktail is served with cherry Cotton candy, luxardo cherries and a lemon twist.

The Palace explains to Us that Justin Lorenz, Beverage Director at the Palace, wanted to take an elevated approach to this “throwback,” using Grey Goose Vodka as the foundation for the drink, with Crème de Framboise and Luxardo lending a rich, fruit-forward depth. Moët Impérial Rosé Champagne adds a crisp, effervescent finish, balanced by the bright twist of lemon. The Luxardo cherries and cherry cotton candy top the drink off to seal the deal that you have a playful and sophisticated drink.

This is hardly the first time that The Lotte New York Palace has added a fun cocktail to its menu. Back in March, the bartenders created a Guinness Float for St. Patrick’s Day that paired the Irish beer with a blend of Bailey’s Irish Cream ice cream and a Jameson Irish Whiskey sidecar.

While visitors will hopefully have a chance to try the Guinness Float again next there (and currently enjoy the Dirty Shirley), something that is always on the menu is the xoxo Gossip Girl cocktail, inspired by The CW show, which featured The Palace on the regular throughout its six seasons.
