Tempted, a ready-to-drink Dirty Shirley co-founded by DJ and social media personality Sommer Ray, officially launched today, May 14, 2026. The canned cocktail is now available on Gopuff for on-demand delivery and at select retail locations, including ShopRite and independent liquor stores.

Tempted is crafted with cherry and pomegranate flavors and a hint of lime, featuring intentionally light carbonation and a lower-sugar profile. The brand was founded to address a gap in the ready-to-drink market: despite the Dirty Shirley’s popularity as a bar cocktail, no canned version existed that truly replicated the original experience. Tempted is sold on Gopuff for $12.99 per 4-pack and contains 7% ABV.

“The Shirley Temple is nostalgic and universally loved, but the canned cocktail category has been dominated by seltzers and hard teas,” said Sommer Ray, co-founder. “Tempted brings something genuinely different: a grown-up version of a classic that people actually want to drink.”

“We spent years ordering Dirty Shirleys at bars and couldn't find a single canned version that tasted authentic,” said co-founder Yoni Bierig. “We built Tempted to be that product.”

Tempted is launching first on Gopuff in Philadelphia, with expansion to New York, California, and Florida rolling out soon, alongside online availability across 45 states. To support the launch, the brand will activate across nightlife, festivals, and digital campaigns throughout the year.

About Tempted

Tempted is the canned Dirty Shirley you've been waiting for, co-founded by DJ, content creator, and social media personality Sommer Ray. Built for the moments that deserve something better than another hard seltzer, Tempted turns a nostalgic classic into the life of the party. Lightly sparkling, lower sugar, and impossibly easy to drink. Available on Gopuff and at select retail locations. For more information, visit drinktempted.com.
