I love this drink. It's also nice with a mint garnish or even parsley.

The OJ

Don't add any OJ as the first comment said, just replace the lemon slice with an orange slice its much better that way. Adding OJ recks it in a way.

Sprite... no ginger ale.
For real
posted by Caroline @ 12:20PM, 6/20/07
I do not think Sprite was even around when this drink first came out (was invented). The real recipe is definitely with ginger ale, but if you prefer Sprite, use that instead. Everything else was added after. The fruit that is supposed to go inside the glass are marachine cherries-not oranges or limes, but agian, if you like it the other way, that is how you should have it.
Thank you! :)

I needed the recipe to enjoy them at home if i can't go to the bar. It is much better with sprite!
Yummy

I love Shirley Temples and the real recipe DOES NOT have orange juice or Sprite in it. Make it the real way- pour Ginger Ale in a glass, then the Grenadine to taste, and top it off with as many ice cubes fit. If you have any Marachino cherries around, they are great for garnishing this drink.
Yummy in my tummy

I tried a shirley temple for the first time about a month ago after going on medication that stopped me from drinking alcohol. I have to say I LOVE this recipe. I am even making it for thanksgiving tomorrow for everyone coming to dinner.
Slutty Shirley

This drink is great with vodka. I believe then it is called a "Slutty Shirley".
Original
posted by Cheri @ 06:32AM, 12/28/07
This drink was first served to Shirley Temple at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki in the 1930's. It's 2 parts ginger ale, 1 part orange juice and splash of grenadine topped off with a maraschino cherry.
Great Fruity Drink

I have been around long enough to know that it was originally made with ginger ale, long before sprite or 7 up was around. However if you like sprite go ahead and use it. I find the ginger ale reminds of the days in an officers club with my father and the bartender would graciously make me one. Love it with orange slice and cherry
Great

The Original Shirley Temple
posted by G-Man Bartender @ 05:09PM, 12/31/07
This drink was invented by a bartender in Hollywood. Shirley Temple frequented the restaurant he worked in when she was a child, and he created this drink for her. The original recipe called for "Ginger Ale", "Grenadine", and "Orange Juice" garnished with a cherry and a piece of orange.
You should feel free to make it any way you like it though. The recipe has changed over the ears, and there are several versions now.
Get it Right

ONLY ginger ale & grenadine with a cherry. If you don't use good ginger ale these can be awful, & I would understand you prefering them with Sprite. Avoid Seagrams, Canada Dry, & all of the other similar "dry" (tasteless) selzer water "mixer" ginger ales. The "fancy" ginger ales generally work best, but there's a budget brand called Rocky Top that is good as well (it is rather sweet). If you HAVE to add something else, try a twist of lime for added sparkle (& to knock the sweetness down a bit).
LOVE IT

The REAL One -

I dont believe sprite was out as a soft drink back when Shirley Temple was performing as a child and the drink was invented. I do believe the REAL one was with ginger ale.
