Next, add your favorite lemon-lime soda and top with as many Maraschino cherries as desired. Viola! You have made a special mocktail that your friends and family are sure to love.
History of a Shirley Temple
This infamous drink was created some time in the early nineteen hundreds. The rumors say, that this non-alcoholic drink was created for Shirley Temple (a famous child actress). The actress herself denies this claim and was not a fan of the drink. The mystery of where it originated has yet to be solved. Regardless, this refreshing beverage remains a childhood favorite drink!
