Ingredients
Method
- In a chilled pitcher, gently combine the lemon-lime soda, ginger ale, and grenadine, allowing the colours to swirl into a soft blush.
- Place generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into two tall glasses, then slowly pour over the sparkling Shirley Temple mixture, letting it cascade and froth around the ice cream.
- Finish with a flourish of maraschino cherries and a fresh slice of lime for a bright, elegant touch.
- Serve immediately, while perfectly chilled and effervescent.
Notes
- Make it boozy — For a more indulgent, grown-up twist, add 1 tablespoon of amaretto and replace 120ml of the lemon-lime soda with vodka.
- Add more lime flavour — A squeeze of freshness goes a long way; stir in 2 tablespoons of lime juice to brighten the drink with a citrus edge.
- Use maraschino cherry juice — If you prefer, the syrup from maraschino cherries makes a perfectly suitable substitute for grenadine, lending a similar sweetness and colour.
- Adjust the ice cream — The number of scoops can be tailored to your glass and preference—more for a richer, creamier float, or less for a lighter, more refreshing sip.
