Shirley Temple Drink Recipe
The Shirley Temple Drink is a non-alcoholic beverage made by combining grenadine syrup with lemon-lime soda over ice and garnished with maraschino cherries, creating a sweet, fizzy, and fruity refreshment popular for parties and kids.
Ingredients
- ice
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle grenadine (see note 1)
- 1 (2 Liter) bottle lemon-lime soda (see note 2)
- maraschino cherries for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Fill a glass with ice. Add 1 ounce (2 tbsp) grenadine, then top with 8 ounces lemon-lime soda. Garnish with maraschino cherries if desired.
Notes
- Grenadine is a sweet, pomegranate-flavored syrup essential to this drink's distinctive taste and color.
- Traditionally, ginger ale was used, but modern Shirley Temples are commonly made with lemon-lime soda like Sprite or 7UP.
- This recipe yields about eight drinks, making it suitable for parties and gatherings.
- For a variation, you can substitute the lemon-lime soda with cola to make a Roy Rogers.
