I remember sitting at restaurant with my best friend and her family when her older sister ordered a Shirley Temple. Of course, when I saw how delicious her drink looked I just had to order one as well. The best part is that you only need two ingredients to make it at home. Enjoy making your very own Shirley Temple and these other simple recipe drinks using Sprite.

Shirley Temple

            Fill a glass with Sprite and add 2 tablespoons of Rose’s grenadine. Plop in a couple maraschino cherries or fresh strawberry slices. 

Sunrise Surprise

            Fill a glass 2/3rds full with Sprite, then add 2 tablespoons of Rose’s grenadine and fill the rest of the glass with orange juice. 

Cranberry Splash

            Fill a glass 2/3rds full with Sprite and add cranberry or cranberry grape juice to the rest of the glass.

Paradise Punch

            Fill half of a glass with Sprite, then add pineapple or pineapple mango juice. For an extra punch add a splash of grenadine and a scoop of vanilla ice scream or sherbet to the mix.

Lime Squeeze

            Fill a glass with Sprite, squeeze in fresh lime juice and place a slice on the rim of the glass. If you do not have limes, squirt in a couple teaspoons of store bought lime juice till it is at the desired taste.

Pinky Punch

            Fill half of a glass with Sprite, then add pink lemonade and raspberry sherbet to the top of the glass.

Creamsicle

            Fill half of a glass with Spite, then add orange juice or orange mango juice with orange sherbet.

Rainbow Drink

            Make ice cubes with different Kool Aid flavors. Stack ice cubes by color and poor Sprite over the top.

*Replace Sprite with 7-up if desired. Add fresh fruit to make your drink exciting.
