The Shirley Temple is having another moment, and Arby’s and Buffalo Wild Wings are leaning all the way in. The sister restaurant brands have introduced four colorful, fountain-based drinks that range from classic cherry fizz to a strawberry dirty soda topped with cold foam.
What are the new Shirley Temple drinks at Arby’s?
Arby’s has two versions:
- Classic Shirley Temple: Sprite, grenadine and a premium Bordeaux cherry
- Shirley ‘n Cream: Sprite and grenadine finished with cold foam and a Bordeaux cherry
The Classic keeps things recognizable. The Shirley ‘n Cream is the more modern option, borrowing the creamy finish that has made dirty sodas such a popular menu category.
What are the new drinks at Buffalo Wild Wings?
Buffalo Wild Wings takes the idea in two different directions:
- Deluxe Dirty Shirley: grenadine, vanilla and Starry topped with cold foam and maraschino cherries
- Strawberry Dirty Soda: strawberry puree syrup and MTN DEW with diced strawberries and cold foam
The Deluxe Dirty Shirley is the closest match to the Arby’s drinks, while the Strawberry Dirty Soda is the bolder order. MTN DEW, strawberry puree and fruit pieces make it feel closer to a dessert than a standard fountain drink.
Which one should you try?
Choose the Arby’s Classic if you want the familiar lemon-lime-and-cherry combination. Pick either cold-foam version if the creamy dirty-soda trend is the main attraction. The Buffalo Wild Wings strawberry option is for anyone who wants the brightest and sweetest drink in the group.
According to the restaurants’ official announcement, all four drinks are designed as playful takes on nostalgic flavors. Availability can vary by participating location, so check the restaurant’s app or local menu before making a special trip.
