Shirley Temple (drink)

The drink may have been invented by a bartender at Chasen's, a restaurant in West Hollywood, California, to serve then-child actress Shirley Temple. However, other claims to its origin have been made. Temple herself was not a fan of the drink, as she told Scott Simon in an NPR interview in 1986: In 1988, Temple filed a lawsuit to prevent the sale of a bottled soda version using her name. In October 2024, American soft drink brand 7 Up introduced a limited release Shirley Temple–flavored variety, which was later reintroduced in October 2025. By 2026, many soda brands released Shirley Temple flavors, including Poppi, Olipop, Slice, and Bloom Pop. == With alcohol ==
