Matt’s Shirley Temple Recipe

My husband recently made me one of his Shirley Temples to be used as a prop in a photoshoot for one of my dresses. The tasty non-alcoholic cocktail added a splash of colour and fun to the photos, helping The Cocktail Queen Dress reach the front page of Etsy last week.

Although many additions and substitutions have been made to the traditional Shirley Temple since its 1930’s origins, Matt’s Shirley Temple recipe brings the classic drink back to it’s roots, using only ginger ale and grenadine.
