Any Shirley Temple Black cocktail is good.  But the secret to making this drink truly amazing?  Homemade grenadine syrup.

Shirley Temple Black Cocktail

  • one ounce grenadine syrup (here's my homemade grenadine syrup recipe)
  • 1 1/2 ounce regular rum (not spiced)
  • splash of fresh orange juice
  • sparkling water (or 7up or ginger ale) to fill the glass.
  • maraschino cherry and orange slice, for garnish

Pour the rum and grenadine syrup in a glass with ice.  Add a splash of orange juice.  Fill to the top with sparkling water, lemon-lime soda, or ginger ale.  Add a marashino cherry and an orange slice for garnish.
