Description

Hot Pink Shirley Temple (with Grenadine)
Back when I was a kid, summer vacation usually meant at least one terrible road trip to some destination that sounded good to your parents in a moment of insanity. “Road Trip” is code for we can’t afford bus, train or plane fare for the family trip and that leaves the car, usually with no air conditioning. A lot of fussing and fighting and threats of stopping the car from the front seat… think of the movie Vacation with Chevy Chase and you’ll get an idea of the whole road trip experience.
The one thing that made it worthwhile was dinner in the Holiday Inn restaurant and getting that reward… cocktails at the lounge… oh, yeah I earned it! Remember this was back in the day ~ no internet ~ no Netflix streaming movies on a drop down video screen or an iPad or iPhone to tune out the constant picking and agitation… getting that cocktail was all my 7 years of little sisterhood could hold on to. A boost up on the bar stool was all I needed… I knew what I needed and “Sam” knew why..
“ long day of traveling, little lady?” Yes and I can sure use a “Cold Temple” to forget about it..
… and you want it on the rocks and straight away, Sam smiled at my parents. That’s it ~ one Hot Pink Shirley Temple with Grenadine ~ not strawberry juice ~ Grenadine.. and Sam,.?
I’m going to need 2 umbrellas - no cherries
Yes ma’am

… needless to say, but will, this childhood milestone was back when you could sit in a bar with your parents without the other patrons loosing their minds, throwing up crime tape and invoking “Big Nanny” to evaluate the situation…

Grenadine /ˈɡrɛnədiːn/ is a commonly used, non-alcoholic bar syrup, characterized by a flavor that is both tart and sweet, and by a deep red color. It is popular as an ingredient in cocktails, both for its flavor and to give a reddish or pink tint to mixed drinks and is traditionally made from pomegranate.
Grenadine is also a popular ingredient in some non-alcoholic drinks, such as the Roy Rogers, pink lemonade, and Shirley Temple cocktails, or simply by mixing the syrup with cold water in a glass or jug, sometimes with ice.

Pomegranate syrup found in most Middle Eastern groceries is made with pomegranate concentrate and sugar, and is as an authentic grenadine.
