Classic Shirley Temple

Since just thinking about booze of any sort makes me drool over the thought of a hard cider, I'm forgoing a Friday cocktail recipe for a sort of mock-tail. I had these as a kid, as an adult... they are always delicious.

*I copied this directly from USA Today, in an article by Ashley M. Williams.


"It is said that in the late 1930s, a bartender at Chasen's in Beverly Hills invented the cocktail. The bartender made the drink for the young actress during the pinnacle point of her fame.

The sweet concoction would later become a fun drink asked for by kids and adults alike.

The Shirley Temple recipe

Ingredients:

3 ounces lemon-lime soda

3 ounces ginger ale

Dash grenadine

Maraschino cherry for garnish

Pour lemon-lime soda and ginger ale into a glass with ice cubes. Then, add a dash of grenadine. Finally, stir your refreshing drink and top it off with a cherry."


Enjoy! And cheers to the weekend! Here's a photo of the young lady herself (in the 1930s):

P.s. Did you know there's a movie about her life? I've seen it, oh about a hundred times - and love it. Here's a link. TTFN <3

Have a delicious weekend!

I recently pinned this and it may or may not be making my mouth water a bit. Originally from jolynneshane.com - here it is, enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

• 16 oz tomato juice
• 2 TBS fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 TBS lime juice
• ½ TBS Worcestershire sauce
• a few shakes of Tabasco
• ½- 1 TBS prepared horseradish (not horseradish sauce)
• 2 teaspoons of pickle juice
• 1 tsp olive juice
• 1 tsp pepperoncini juice (optional)
• a few shakes black pepper
• ½ a teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning
• 4-6 ounces of good quality vodka

Garnish ideas: Pickle spear, celery stalk, green olives (plain or stuffed with blue cheese), shrimp, pepperoncini, lemon slice or a lime slice.


INSTRUCTIONS

• Wet the rim of two (16-20 oz) glasses with a piece of fresh lemon. Then dip the glass rims into a tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning (shake it onto a flat dish).
• Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Fill glasses halfway with ice.
• Mix all of the ingredients together in a separate pitcher or container, stir it up well, and then pour mixture into your cocktail shaker, one batch at a time. Give it a good shaking to get it nice and cold, then pour the contents into your prepared glass.
• Slide in a pickle spear or stalk of celery, a few Old Bay seasoned shrimp, a couple of big fat olives, and you are good to go. You can also add a lemon and or a lime slice, and if you’re feeling crazy a whole pepperoncini…Yum!

Have a great weekend!

Figured that these Friday posts would be great for drink or brunch type recipes, so here ya go!

For a punch bowl you will use 1 bottle wine, 1 container of lemonade, and half a liter of soda. You can also freeze the fruit so it can help keep the punch cold.
