Description
As pretty as it is delicious. And fun to serve in pint-size Mason jars.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Granulated Sugar (optional)
- 2 whole Limes
- 22 Maraschino Cherries With Stems
- Ice Cubes
- 12 ounces, fluid Lemon-lime Soda
- 4 teaspoons Liquid From Jar Of Maraschino Cherries
- 2 teaspoons Grenadine Syrup
Preparation
As an option, the Mason jars can be put in the freezer about 1 hour before making the Shirley Temple. Just before adding the ingredients to the jars, add about 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to a shallow bowl, turn the jars upside down, and twist the rim of the jars in the sugar.
Cut the limes into thin wedges. Add about 6 maraschino cherries in each Mason jar (or tall glass). Next fill the Mason jars about 3/4 full with ice cubes.
Then slide the wedges of lime in between the ice cubes and the inside of the glass jar so that it looks pretty from the outside of the glass. Add about 3 more maraschino cherries wherever there is room in between the ice cubes.
Add the lemon lime soda, leaving about 2 inches of space at the top of the jar. Next add 2 teaspoons of liquid from the jar of maraschino cherries to each Mason jar. Then add the grenadine syrup and stir.
Add more ice until it reaches the top of the jar. Top with a couple more cherries and lime wedges.
