Shirley Temple Cocktail Recipe

Low & No Alcohol
Author: The Bar Team
Two Shirley Temple cocktails, topped with a cherry and lime slice garnish, sit on a counter, surrounded by pink macaroons and strawberry tarts.

The Shirley Temple is a fun, feel-good classic that’s loved for its bright colour and sweet, refreshing taste. Made with ginger ale, lime juice and a splash of grenadine, it’s lightly fizzy with a hint of fruitiness and that signature pop of red. Finished with a lime wheel and a cherry on top, it’s a playful drink that’s perfect for any occasion - simple, nostalgic and always a crowd-pleaser.
