What is Grenadine?
Grenadine is a non alcoholic flavored simple syrup that you can purchase in the liquor department of any grocery store. Originally it was made with pomegranate juice. More modern iterations of grenadine do not have a pomegranate flavor and are often used in cherry drinks. This would be a great drink to make for the kids for New Year’s Eve. But it would also be perfect any time you are having a fancy dinner in or celebrating a special occasion. I even have some fun party snacks listed at the bottom of the post to go with this.
Dirty Shirley Temple
If you want to make this an adult drink, or a Dirty Shirley Temple, you need to just add a little vodka. Two ounces is the perfect amount for us, but you may want to start with one ounce, taste it and adjust. This homemade syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Or you can freeze it in 1 ounce servings so that you can make this Shirley Temple recipe whenever the mood strikes.
Shirley Temple Black
Did you know that when Shirley Temple got married her new name became Shirley Temple Black? When that happened, there was a new drink named after her. The Shirley Temple Black is the regular Shirley Temple with 2 ounces of black rum added to it. Of all the Temples, this one is my favorite.
