Shirley Temple
The ultimate classic non-alcoholic drink loved by kids and adults alike for decades. Ginger ale and grenadine combine for a sweet rosy drink topped with a maraschino cherry.
A sweet and fizzy pink mocktail that is as fun to look at as it is to drink.

Instructions
Chill the Glass
Place your serving glass in the freezer for 2 to 3 minutes before assembling the drink. A cold glass helps keep the drink colder for longer and makes the presentation look more polished. This step is optional but highly recommended.
Add Ice
Remove the glass from the freezer and fill it generously with ice cubes. Use plenty of ice so the drink stays cold and refreshing until the very last sip. Clear ice cubes look best in this presentation-forward drink.
Add Grenadine
Pour the grenadine syrup directly over the ice. The grenadine will sink to the bottom of the glass creating a beautiful gradient effect that looks stunning before stirring. Do not stir yet if you want that layered look for photos.
Add Orange Juice and Ginger Ale
Pour the fresh orange juice over the grenadine followed slowly by the chilled ginger ale. Pour the ginger ale gently against the side of the glass to preserve the carbonation. The drink will naturally turn a gorgeous pink and orange color.
Garnish and Serve
Give the drink one gentle stir if you prefer an even color throughout. Garnish with maraschino cherries on a cocktail pick, an orange slice on the rim, and a cocktail umbrella for a festive look. Serve immediately with a straw.
