They are quick to whip up, with only 3 ingredients, and can transform a simple dinner or gathering into a fancy and fun occasion. Let this drink transport you back to childhood, but this time with a blue raspberry twist!
How to Make a Shirley Temple Blue
- Shirley temple recipes typically include Sprite or 7-up but you could also use club soda or sparkling water depending on your taste. For a spicier shirley, use ginger ale!
- A splash of grenadine adds a sweet and tart fruity flavor. Homemade grenadine is great too, if you have pomegranates on hand! If you don’t have grenadine, you can use maraschino cherry juice from the jar.
- Then for the tropical twist… blue raspberry syrup! You could also use non-alcoholic blue curacao syrup.
- Serve over ice in a tall glass, then garnish with cherries and limes!!

Dorothy’s Expert Tips
- Turn this into a cocktail by adding an ounce of vodka – this is called a dirty shirley!
- I enjoy adding lime because of the brightness it adds, but you can omit if you prefer.
- Traditionally, this is made with ginger ale but in recent times lemon-lime soda has gained popularity. Use what you prefer.
- Be sure to try our classic Shirley Temple or a Bloody Shirley for Halloween or a Roy Rogers with coke.
