History

An alcoholic version of the classic Shirley Temple which is of course named after the 1930s child film star, Shirley Temple. However, this cocktail is said to be named after Shirley Jones who played Shirley Partridge in the 1970s television sitcom, The Partridge Family. Like the cocktail, Shirley Jones was named after Shirley Temple.

Review

Fruity, refreshing, slightly sweet and mildly alcoholic.

Very simple, yet really good. Dare I say, this is bettet than the original Shirley Temple.

Simple and sweet and a bit nostalgic. I like to add ~0.5oz of ginjinha to mine.
