Non-alcoholic mixed drink From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Shirley Temple is a non-alcoholic mixed drink traditionally made with lemon-lime soda or ginger ale and a splash of grenadine, and garnished with a maraschino cherry.[1][2][3][4] Modern Shirley Temple recipes may substitute lemon-lime soda or lemonade and sometimes orange juice, in part or in whole.[5][6] Shirley Temples are often served as an alternative to alcoholic cocktails, as are the similar Roy Rogers and Arnold Palmer.

The cocktail may have been invented by a bartender at Chasen's, a restaurant in West Hollywood, California, to serve then-child actress Shirley Temple. However, other claims to its origin have been made.[7] Temple herself was not a fan of the drink, as she told Scott Simon in an NPR interview in 1986:
The saccharine sweet, icky drink? Yes, well... those were created in the probably middle 1930s by the Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood and I had nothing to do with it. But, all over the world, I am served that. People think it's funny. I hate them. Too sweet![8][9]
In 1988, Temple filed a lawsuit to prevent the sale of a bottled soda version using her name.[10][11]
Adding 1.5 US fluid ounces (44 ml) of vodka or rum produces a "Dirty Shirley".[12]
