Shirley Temples

Grenadine ginger ale drinks

A Shirley Temple is a nonalcoholic cocktail typically made with ginger ale or lemon-lime soda, grenadine, and a maraschino cherry garnish.

Named after the famous child actress, it became the quintessential "mocktail" ordered by children at restaurants and bars while adults had real drinks.

The kids sipped Shirley Temples while we had margaritas.

The drink remains a nostalgic staple, though adults sometimes order them ironically or when avoiding alcohol.
