My DD used to drink these all the time when we went out to dinner, she felt like a "big girl". The only difference is we called them a Shirley Temple cocktail but the same idea. I like the ginger ale a lot better than Sprite or 7-up and I only pour enough maraschino cherry juice to give the ginger ale a tint of red and a light flavor of cherries. Great for adults as well as children. Thanks for posting Lvs2Cook and bringing back great memories! Made and reviewed for the Secret Ingredient tag game.

    Thank you for this lovely blast from the past. My son loved this drink, when he was young. Made quite a production out of drinking it too. I'll be making him one for Thanksgiving. This was a lovely, fizzy, sweet and gingery drink. Thanks for sharing.

    A great kid "cocktail", especially for little girls. I used a good amount of cherry juice because that is what gives it great flavor. Thanks for posting a classic. We called them Shirley Temples, but I like this name better.

    You made my kids' afternoon! Shirley temples are their favorite special drink to order out. They were thrilled to have one at home!
