Shirley Temple (drink) explained

Shirley Temple
Type:nonalc
Garnish:Maraschino cherry

A Shirley Temple is a non-alcoholic mixed drink traditionally made with lemon-lime soda or ginger ale and a splash of grenadine, and garnished with a maraschino cherry.[1] [2] [3] [4] Modern Shirley Temple recipes may substitute lemon-lime soda or lemonade and sometimes orange juice, in part or in whole.[5] [6] Shirley Temples are often served as an alternative to alcoholic cocktails, as are the similar Roy Rogers and Arnold Palmer.

Origin

The cocktail may have been invented by a bartender at Chasen's, a restaurant in West Hollywood, California, to serve then-child actress Shirley Temple. However, other claims to its origin have been made.[7] Temple herself was not a fan of the drink, as she told Scott Simon in an NPR interview in 1986:

In 1988, Temple filed a lawsuit to prevent the sale of a bottled soda version using her name.[8] [9] In October 2024, American soft drink brand 7 Up introduced a limited release Shirley Temple-flavored variety.[10]

With alcohol

Adding 1.5 US fluid ounces (44 ml) of vodka or rum produces a "Dirty Shirley".[11]
