🍸How to make a good Shirley Temple Cocktail 🍸

Shirley Temple Cocktail

Marisol is to Spanish cinema what Shirley Temple was to American cinema, a child prodigy who...

began performing at the age of four, at the age of seven he had recorded his tracks in front of the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre and by the time he was 30 he had retired from show business. Its history gives its name to a non-alcoholic cocktail.

The 1930s in the United States. Party in Hollywood. One of the fashionable actresses is called Shirley Temple, who is barely 10 years old. You can't have champagne, the star drink of the moment. So he goes to the bar and orders a non-alcoholic cocktail. Apparently, the bartender at Chasen's in Beverly Hills is cheering up with a colorful cocktail special for the little girl.

Ingredients

Lemon lime soda (7up or Sprite)

Grenadine juice

Orange juice (optional)

Garnish with cherries and orange peel

This is a cocktail that is usually served at dinners where the youngest members of the house share a table with the adults. The goal is to make them feel integrated. Although the basic Shirley Temple does not contain alcohol, there are variations that do add some joy to the cocktail. So, for example, if you add Hendrick's gin, you have a Scatty Matty, which is a big hit in Boston. In French Brittany, Absinthe is added to obtain a Messy Jessie. In these cases where the cocktail includes alcohol, it's called Shirley Temple Black or Dirty Shirley. You up for it tonight?
