A Shirley Temple (also known as a Grenadine Lemonade) is a non-alcoholic mixed drink originally made with two parts ginger ale, one part orange juice, and a small quantity of grenadine.[1] Nowadays, the drink is usually made with lemon-lime soda (7up or Sprite) , and mixed with grenadine syrup garnished with maraschino cherries and a slice of orange.[2][3][4] Orange juice is often added, especially in Canada, but some restaurants chains have chosen to omit it altogether. It is often served to children dining with adults to let them share the experience of drinking a cocktail, which is why it is sometimes called a kiddie cocktail. It is similar to another non-alcoholic beverage, the Roy Rogers.
The Shirley Temple cocktail may have been invented by a bartender at Chasen's, a restaurant in Beverly Hills, California, in the 1930s, in honor of the child actress, who had requested a cocktail that was not alcoholic.[1] Several other claims to its origin have been made.[5][6]
International and regional variants of the Shirley Temple exist. In Boston, the addition of Hendrick's Gin is known as a "Scatty Matty". In Brittany in France, the addition of Absinthe is known as a "Messy Jessie".
If alcohol is added, the drink is often called a "Shirley Temple Black".
