Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 oz grenadine Syrup
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • 8 oz ginger ale (or lemon-lime soda)
  • Maraschino cherries and orange slices for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill a tall glass with ice. Add the grenadine syrup, allowing it to settle at the bottom of the glass. Pour the orange juice over the settled grenadine. Pour the ginger ale over top of the orange juice to create a layered drink. Garnish with a cherry and orange slice. Serve with a stir stick or straw for stirring.

Notes

  • This recipe makes one drink, but it is easy to double it for two, or to make many Shirley Temples for a crowd.  I recommend making each drink individually, instead of as a large batch, for the pretty layered presentation.  
  • Add 1 ounce of vodka to the orange juice layer to make a Shirley Temple Black Cocktail.
