Yummy Summer Drink - The classic, Shirley Temple.


I don't make too many fancy drinks, but I generally always have a bottle of grenadine syrup on hand to give a sweet kick to punches. Grenadine is essentially red liquid sugar. High-fructose corn syrup to be precise. It used to be made of pomegranate juice ("grenadines" en français). You can buy a bottle of grenadine syrup at any grocery store. 


Shirley Temples are delicious summer drinks that come highly recommended by Gilesies and have been a long-time favourite by most children at Swiss Chalet. Of course the drink is named after the biggest child star in history and doesn't contain any alcohol. Serve with fresh fruit and enjoy!


Ingredients to mix together:
- 1-2 tsp. of grenadine syrup
- 1/2 glass of orange juice
- 1/2 glass of ginger ale or some other limey/lemony carbonated drink
- fruit to garnish
