Notes
Shirley Temple Variations
- Dirty Shirley — the grown-up version. Add 1.5 oz of vodka before the ginger ale and suddenly you've got a cocktail that gives the same pretty presentation with a little something extra for the adults at the table.
- Roy Rogers — swap the ginger ale for cola and you've got the Shirley Temple's classic drink counterpart. Same grenadine, same cherry, completely different flavor profile.
- Shirley Temple Punch — making these for a crowd? Multiply your grenadine and lime juice in the bottom of a punch bowl, add ice, then pour in your ginger ale right before serving. Add the soda last and do it slowly to keep the fizz alive.
- Canadian Shirley - add a hearty splash of orange juice to your Shirley Temple! This is a regional version they make in Canada.
