What is a Shirley Temple Drink?
Imagine being a young actress in Hollywood with the drinks flowing and you...can't have any of them! For Shirley Temple, that was the case. So a bartender made a drink just for the young Hollywood actress that was a beautiful pink color! That is how the Shirley Temple was created!
Flights and Travel
For my kids, they were first introduced to the Shirley Temple on a Southwest Airline flight. The kids felt so special when the flight attendants brought them their drink with a heart stirring stick. Now when we travel, one of the places that usually can fit our large family comfortably is Embassy Suites. In the afternoons they usually have afternoon cocktail and snack hours and the employees are so sweet to always make Shirley Temple's for the kids when they come to pick up their snacks.
