Shirley Temple Cocktail
New year’s eve is just around the corner and we have a bubbly and simple drink to serve family and friends. A classic Shirley Temple has lemon lime soda, such as 7UP®, ginger ale and maraschino cherry juice or grenadine. It’s served with an orange slice and cherry and makes for a refreshing drink recipe.
Invite a few close friends and family to ring in the new year with a party at home. New Year’s Eve is one of the biggest party nights of the year and this annual occasion is a great time to serve impressive drinks. Making a Shirley Temple is a great idea for a party. It is made without alcohol but can easily accommodate a splash of vodka to make it a Dirty Shirley and a more grown up drink. If you’re looking to serve a drink up that will sparkle this New Year’s Eve, try this Shirley Temple.
Shirley Temple Cocktails or “Kiddie Cocktails” bring back all sorts of nostalgia. I remember when I was young, every holiday I’d ask my mom for a kiddie cocktail. The bubbly soda mixed with just the right amount of cherry juice made for my favorite holiday drink. Still to this day, I enjoy the classic Shirley Temple Cocktail. If you’re looking to keep it simple and budget friendly this New Year’s, this classic drink is great for the occasion.
Head over to Walmart® and pick up a few ingredients. You’ll need, 7UP®, Canada Dry Ginger Ale®, maraschino cherry + juice and an orange.
