Shirley Temple Mocktail
This classic drink, created for the yesteryear actress Shirley Temple, resembled an alcoholic beverage - its vivid fruity appearance, a combination of sweet grenadine, lime and fizzy ginger ale, quickly earned global recognition alongside her fame. Over eighty years later, this sweet and tangy combination is still a favourite and lives on as a nostalgic tribute to an iconic figure, relished for its bright hue and simplicity.

Avoid using crushed ice since it melts quickly, diluting the flavours and flattening the ginger ale.
