Grown-Up No-Booze Shirley Temple

Named after 1930s child star Shirley Temple, this is one of the original nonalcoholic "cocktails." Here's a more exciting but still nonalcoholic version for adult taste buds. Although spicy ginger beer is widely available in specialty grocery stores (I like the version made by Fentimans), substitute ginger ale if preferred.

Makes 1 drink

6 ounces spicy ginger beer

1 1/2 teaspoons grenadine (look for a not-too-sweet version, such as Employees Only or Stirrings; pomegranate juice should be the primary ingredient)

No-Booze Maraschino Cherries, for garnish

Orange slice, for garnish

In a tall glass half-full with ice, add ginger beer and grenadine. Stir together. Garnish with cherry and orange slice.
