Very Cherry Shirley Temple with Lime
A twist to an old classic.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces lemon lime soda
- 4 teaspoons grenadine syrup
- 4 teaspoons liquid from the jar of maraschino cherries
- 22 Maraschino cherries with stems
- 2 whole limes each lime cut into 7 wedges
- Ice cubes
- 2 pint size Mason jars optional
Instructions
Serving Option - Sugar Coated Mason Jar or Glass Rim:
- As an option, the mason jars can be put in the freezer about an hour before making the Shirley Temple.
- And just before adding the ingredients to the jars, add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to a shallow bowl, turn the jars upside down, and twist the rim of the jars in the sugar.
For the Very Cherry Shirley Temples:
- To Mason jars or serving glasses, add 6 maraschino cherries. Fill the jars or glasses three quarters full with ice cubes.
- In each glass slide 4 wedges of lime in between the ice cubes and the inside of the glass jar (or serving glass) so that it looks pretty from the outside of the glass.
- Add 3 more maraschino cherries wherever there is room in between the ice cubes.
- Add lemon lime soda leaving 2 inches of space at the top of the jar. Next add 2 teaspoons of liquid from the jar of maraschino cherries to each Mason jar.
- Then add the grenadine syrup and stir. Add more ice until it reaches the top of the jar.
- Top with a couple more cherries and the remaining lime wedges. Serve right away while ice cold.
