Get ready to crack open a can of Shirley Temple.

 

A representative for 7UP confirms to PEOPLE that 7UP Shirley Temple is coming to stores nationwide. From Oct. 15 through Dec. 31, fans can get a canned and bottled version of the pomegranate and cherry-flavored mocktail.

 

The internet was buzzing after popular snack-focused Instagram pages @snackolator and @snackbetch wrote of Reddit reports on the drink before it was confirmed on Sept. 27.

 

The limited-time 7UP Shirley Temple will be available in two sizes, 12-oz. cans and 2 liter bottles. 7UP Zero Sugar Shirley Temple will also drop but only in 12-oz. cans.

 

Shirley Temples are typically made by combining lemon-lime soda, like 7UP or Sprite, with grenadine and maraschino cherries. They are childhood favorites for many, but the drink got a boozy spin in 2022. TikTok users spiked the nostalgic drink with vodka, turning a Shirley Temple into a Dirty Shirley.

 

The New York Times speculated that the Dirty Shirley was the drink of summer that year — and it's still popular today. Keurig Dr Pepper, which makes 7UP, suggests mixing 5 oz. of the new Shirley Temple soda with 1 oz. vodka, a splash of cherry juice from a maraschino cherries jar, and garnishing with maraschino cherries.

 

Grocery stores will be full of twists on classic brands this fall. Chips Ahoy! Big Chewy Cookies are arriving in three different flavors in October.

 

The supersized treat, available in chocolate chip, chocolatey brownie and chocolatey caramel flavors, will be sold with one XL cookie in each single-serve package.

 

Chips Ahoy! Big Chewy Cookie is soft-baked, just like the OG, and features chocolate chips four times the size of its predecessor. This iteration is the closest in flavor to the original Chips Ahoy! Cookies.

 

Chips Ahoy! Big Chewy Chocolatey Brownie Cookie has a brownie cookie dough base with chips for double the chocolate. Chips Ahoy! Big Chewy Chocolatey Caramel Cookie has the large chocolate chips like the other two options plus caramel-flavored chips.
