When I was first entering the workforce after graduating college and still socializing in bars, I stared ordering Shirley Temples to make it look like I had a cocktail in hand and to prevent people from offering me drinks. My lower tolerance meant I only need one alcoholic drink I can nurse for an hour and then take a break. If you hang out in a bar with friends and have no drink in hand, you’ll lose count on how many times people offer to grab you one. All this to say, it took a pandemic and some boredom to realize Shirley Temples are so easy to make! So, friends, I present to you, How to Make Sweet Shirley Temples!
It’s three-ingredient easy to make! You just need, ice, grenadine, and your favorite lemon-lime soda. I used Sprite. You can be an adult and garnish with one maraschino cherry per drink or indulge your inner child and make it two or three!
