Shirley Temple Mocktail

Jugero’s cherry-lime Shirley Temple pairs sparkling lemon-lime soda with fresh citrus and a quick pomegranate-cherry syrup.

⏱ 10 min🍹 4 servings🌈 Easy joy

This Shirley Temple mocktail keeps the nostalgic cherry-red look and gives it a fresh Jugero finish. A quick pomegranate syrup gets its cherry note from tart cherry juice, then orange and lime balance the sweetness. Top each glass with cold lemon-lime soda right before serving to keep the bubbles lively.

Make the syrup ahead

The recipe makes extra pomegranate-cherry syrup. Refrigerate the leftover syrup in a sealed jar and use it in sparkling water or another zero-proof drink within one week.

What you'll need

For 4 sippers
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice, for the syrup
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar, for the syrup
  • 1 tablespoon tart cherry juice, for the syrup
  • 1/4 cup prepared pomegranate-cherry syrup, from the ingredients above
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 4 cups chilled lemon-lime soda
  • 2 cups ice
  • 4 maraschino cherries, for garnish
  • 4 orange slices, for garnish

Let's make it

  1. Add the pomegranate juice and sugar to a small saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves; simmer gently for 2 minutes.
  2. Remove from the heat, stir in the tart cherry juice, and cool completely. The syrup recipe makes extra; refrigerate the unused portion in a sealed jar.
  3. In a pitcher, stir together the measured prepared syrup, orange juice, and lime juice. Add the chilled lemon-lime soda just before serving.
  4. Divide the ice among serving glasses, pour in the Shirley Temple, and garnish each with a cherry and orange slice.
