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. In some regions of the Midwestern United States, the cocktail is referred to as a Kiddie Cocktail, as it is often served to children.

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]

With alcohol

Adding 1.5 US fluid ounces (44 ml) of vodka or rum produces a "Dirty Shirley".[10] If dark rum is used, it produces a Shirley Temple Black, a homage to her married surname.
