I grew up on Shirley temples as a kid. Whatever restaurant or party my family and I went to, I was sure to order one of those with my food. This recipe is great for all the people who grew up on the same childhood tradition as me! It combines lime juice, grenadine, club soda or seltzer water, and lemon-lime ginger beer.
