From renewed interest in classic mocktails to the popularity of the Dirty Shirley, it’s safe to say the Shirley Temple is having a moment. Arguably the most famous non-alcoholic mixed drink, the Shirley Temple was created in the 1930s in honor of the child actor and is usually made with grenadine, ginger ale or lemon-lime soda, and maraschino cherries.
While we love the sweet-tart flavor of the classic recipe, we also like to substitute grenadine for other flavor combinations! Here are our favorite carbonated fruity drinks that Shirley Temple lovers have to try.
