Similar to the Roy Rogers, the Shirley Temple is a simple mix of grenadine and ginger ale. Ironically, the child star despised the drink that she inspired, calling it “icky.” Despite this famous rebuke, the drink remains one of the most frequently ordered virgin cocktails in the world. Like the Roy Rogers, the Shirley Temple can be easily personalized with the addition of a little lemon or lime!
