A Shirley Temple is a bright, family-friendly mocktail made with fizzy soda, citrus and a splash of grenadine. It is quick to mix, easy to adjust and ideal for parties, brunch or a refreshing drink at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chilled lemon-lime soda or ginger ale
- 1 tablespoon grenadine syrup
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- Ice cubes
- Maraschino cherry and orange or lime wedge, to garnish
Method
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Add the lime juice and grenadine.
- Top with chilled soda and stir gently once so the drink stays fizzy.
- Garnish with a cherry and citrus wedge, then serve immediately.
Tips for the best mocktail
Use fresh citrus and add the grenadine gradually so you can control sweetness and colour. For a less sweet version, replace some soda with sparkling water. Prepare the base ahead, but add the fizzy drink just before serving.
Serving ideas
Serve in a highball glass with a paper straw. This alcohol-free drink pairs well with snacks, sandwiches and celebratory meals.
