Shirley Temple Recipe

Shirley Temple recipe — The OG mocktail that started it all. Still iconic. Made with none. Originally from USA.

Sweet, bubbly and unapologetically cheerful. Has been delighting people since the 1930s and has zero intentions of stopping. The drink equivalent of a standing ovation.

Named after child actress Shirley Temple in the 1930s. She reportedly disliked it because too many strangers would order it for her.

Ingredients

• 4 oz Ginger ale or lemon-lime soda (7UP or Sprite work great)
• 1 oz Grenadine (the redder the better)
• Ice (plenty of it)
• 1 Maraschino cherry (non-negotiable garnish)
• 1 Orange slice (garnish)

Instructions

1. Fill a glass with ice.
2. Pour in the ginger ale or soda.
3. Add grenadine — it will sink to the bottom creating a beautiful gradient. Do not stir yet.
4. Give it one gentle stir, then garnish with cherry and orange slice.
