1
Chill glass
Place a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to chill it.
2
Build the cocktail
Add 1.5 oz vodka and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice to a mixing glass or shaker filled with a few ice cubes. Pour in 0.75 oz house jasmine grenadine.
3
Brief stir or shake
If you want a slightly more integrated drink, shake the vodka, lime and grenadine with ice for 5 seconds and strain into the chilled glass over fresh ice. Alternatively, for a lighter, fizzy finish, simply stir gently in the serving glass after adding ice.
4
Top with soda
Top the cocktail with about 3 oz ginger ale (or lemon-lime soda). Gently stir once with a bar spoon to combine the soda with the base mixture, taking care not to lose carbonation.
5
Bitters (optional)
If using, add 1 dash of Angostura bitters on top to add aromatic depth. This is optional and not traditional in a Shirley Temple-inspired drink.

6
Garnish the drink with one maraschino cherry and a lime wheel or wedge placed on the rim. Float an edible jasmine flower on top if available for fragrance and presentation.
7
Serve immediately with a straw and a napkin. Note: the grenadine will create a pretty gradient if you pour it gently and don’t over-stir; if you prefer an even color, stir a little more.
