Shirley Temple With a Twist Recipe

This recipe for a Shirley Temple With a Twist is refreshing, sparkly, and will please kids and adults alike. This is a fun drink to make for a festive occasion, or to make an ordinary day a little more special.

When I was little and we went to a "fancy" restaurant, well at least to an eight year old it was, I always ordered a Shirley Temple to drink. It was something I always looked forward to - the sweet and fizzy soda with a few maraschino cherries added an extra specialness to an evening out with the family.
When I made this drink, my kids were so excited to be the taste-testers while I worked on getting the balance of flavors just right. I hope you enjoy this mocktail recipe as much as our family does!

Shirley Temple With a Twist Recipe

This drink is refreshing on a summer evening, wonderful for baby showers, tasty on a night of celebration, and a nice treat for every day. We take the classic Shirley Temple drink and add a little extra twist of flavor with lime.

Ingredients Needed to Make Shirley Temple with a Twist

With just a few ingredients you will have a flavorful, fizzy, delightful drink that the whole family can enjoy.

12 oz Ginger Ale

2-3 teaspoons Grenadine Syrup

Ice

Maraschino Cherries

Lime, cut into wedges

Directions

1. Fill your glass with as much ice as you like.

2. Add the Grenadine Syrup to the glass. I think the flavor naturally distributes better this way.

3. If your lime is small, cut into eights  and squeeze the juice of one or two wedges into the glass. If you have a large lime, use a smaller amount.

4. Pour the ginger ale into the glass.

5. Stir gently, then add a few maraschino cherries to the glass.

There you have it! A nice refreshing drink anyone will enjoy. Serve this at your next BBQ, family get together, or weekend dinner. It's sure to please!

I hope you enjoy this drink recipe! If you are interested in other non-alcoholic drinks, don't forget to visit the recipes that my blogging friends share below.
