Growing up we always had Shirley Temples on special occasions. I looked forward to the day when my mom pulled the grenadine and maraschino cherries out of the fridge! These fun & festive drinks are so easy to make and the addition of orange juice not only adds layers, but great flavor as well.
Grenadine is pomegranate syrup and can be found in the mixed drink section of your grocery store. It has a fruit flavor that’s mild but unique. I loved it as a child- and as a grown up I still really enjoy it!
Layered Shirley Temples
for 1 drink:
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 3/4 cup 7-Up
- 2 TBSP grenadine syrup
- whipped cream and cherries for garnish
Add a few ice cubes to your glass. Add in the ingredients in the order listed above. First add the orange juice, then the 7-Up. Next add the grenadine and allow it to sink to the bottom. This will give the drink a layered look! Add a little whipped cream and a cherry on top and serve to your favorite guests.
Enjoy!
