About this drink

The Shirley Temple is said to have been invented in the 1930s, with Chasen's in Beverly Hills the most often cited birthplace, so the child star Shirley Temple could enjoy a 'cocktail' alongside the adults at Hollywood gatherings. It is still going strong as the ultimate festive mocktail: sweet, sparkling and full of nostalgia.

Grenadine

Ingredients

  • Pomegranate juice250 ml
  • Sugar250 g
  • Pomegranate molasses1 tbsp
  • Orange flower water1 tsp
  • Citric acid1.25 g
  • Malic acid1.25 g

Method

  1. Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until the sugar has dissolved.
  2. Pour into a sterilized bottle and store in the refrigerator; it will keep for at least 2–4 weeks, although I have kept it much longer without any issues. I rinse the bottle with a teaspoon of Atamon to extend the shelf life.
