How to Make the Perfect Shirley Temple - The classic kid cocktail! Only 3 ingredients! via @thiswifecooks

How to Make the Perfect Shirley Temple ~ 

This classic kid-favorite cocktail is super quick and easy to make!

Only 3 ingredients!

 

I don’t think there’s a little girl out there who doesn’t love Shirley Temples!

This classic kids’ cocktail has been my daughter’s favorite restaurant treat for years.  Just a few nights ago, we wanted to go out for dinner and gave her the honor of choosing the restaurant.  

She immediately chose a place nearby that we all know and love and while waiting for our table, I asked her why she chose this place.  Her response – “They make the best Shirley Temples!”

What?!  Really?!  Okay, they make a darn good margarita, too, but that’s beside the point.  

Such a thing has never been my basis for choosing where I want to eat my evening meal.  

Right then and there I decided it was time to show this girl how simple it is to recreate her favorite restaurant drink at home.

She was amazed how easy it was and I was happy when she declared my Shirley Temple concoction, “way better than the ones at the restaurant!”  

The secret is simple… It’s all about the cherry juice/Sprite ratio.

So easy!

Sit back and let the little ones praise your talent.

They’ll think you’re a master mixologist!

 

Ingredients for The Perfect Shirley Temple:

– Sprite
– maraschino cherries, with juice
 

How to make The Perfect Shirley Temple:

Fill glass with ice (we like the slushiness of crushed).

Fill the glass with Sprite then add 1-2 tablespoons of cherry juice. The Cherry juice amount will vary depending on glass size.

Top with maraschino cherries and serve.

 

Cheers!
