Shirley Temple | The Recipe Critic

Shirley Temple is a classic, non-alcoholic drink that’s as fun as it is refreshing! It’s made with just a few simple ingredients. Its sweet cherry flavor and signature bubbly drink with a cherry on top make it a favorite for both kids and adults!

What’s in a Shirley Temple?

I remember, as a child, getting to enjoy Shirley Temples for special occasions! Now, I love treating my own kids to this fancy-looking drink. Plus, it’s so easy to make that they can actually pour it themselves! For exact measurements of the ingredients, scroll to the bottom of the post.

• Grenadine Syrup: Adds a sweet cherry flavor along with a vibrant red color.
• Lemon Lime Soda: It tastes refreshing and fizzy and balances the sweetness of the grenadine.
• Ice: Keeps the drink nice and chilled.
• Maraschino Cherries: For a pop of color and a fun, sweet bite.
