This always brings back great childhood memories. A favorite drink of mine when I was a child, I knew I needed to add my own Shirley Temple Recipe to share with my kids. This pretty, sweet drink, is topped off with a garnish of maraschino cherries. This classic Shirley Temple Mocktail was created many years ago for famous child actress Shirley Temple.

Two shirley temple drinks in clear glasses with ice.

A classic, non-alcoholic drink, made with simple ingredients that is perfect for kids on any special occasion. Really watch your child's face light up and serve them this drink along with some delicious no bake banana split cake!

If you would like to turn this childhood favorite into an adult cocktail, just add a shot of vodka and you have a Dirty Shirley Temple. An easy recipe for a delicious drink.

The Grenadine Syrup, which is made from pomegranate, adds the bright red color. Grenadine is available at most grocery stores, usually in the liquor aisle.

Recipe Ingredients

Labeled ingredients for a Shirley Temple.

To make this popular drink you will need: Lemon Lime Soda, Ginger Ale, Grenadine Syrup, and Maraschino Cherries.

For each drink, you need about 4 ounces each of lemon lime soda and ginger ale. Next, add a couple of splashes of the grenadine syrup. Stir, and add ice. Top the drink off with a couple (or a few) maraschino cherries. I also like to add a teaspoon or so of the cherry juice.
