Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 ounce grenadine syrup
- 6-8 ounces ginger ale or lemon-lime soda
- 2 maraschino cherries for garnish

Notes
Use diet soda. Feel free to use diet ginger ale or diet lemon-lime soda. You could even use club soda for a lighter cocktail.
Make it non-alcoholic. The Shirley Temple is a classic mocktail. Jump over to this recipe to make a virgin Shirley Temple for the kids and non-drinkers instead.
Mix up a Dirty Shirley Black. Add an ounce of dark rum into the mix for a darker variation of this cocktail.
Make a Roy Rogers. Use cola instead of ginger ale or lemon-lime soda.
Make it a float. Make the Shirley Temple in a pint glass, and fill it ¾-full. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
