Last week I posted a recipe for 'dirty shirley's' - I came across another recipe that is a little different and also includes 2 recipes to make grenadine so I thought I'd share another Twisted Shirley Temple idea. Actually you can omit the alcohol and just have a different spin on a Shirley Temple. The ginger beer instead of sprite or ginger ale is a fun swap - as is the luxardo cherry garnish, I love them!
AMBASSADOR SHIRLEY TEMPLE
combine all in a tall glass over ice:
- 1 1/2 T. (3/4 oz.) lime juice
- 1 1/2 T. (3/4 oz) chile grenadine, homemade grenadine, or store-bought grenadine syrup
- 3 T. (1 1/2 oz) silver tequila (optional)
- 4 to 6 ounces ginger beer, chilled
- Luxardo cherry for garnish
GRENADINE
- 16 oz. 100% pomegranate juice
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 T. lemon juice
Combine the ingredients in a medium pot and cook over medium heat until the edges of the liquid begin to bubble and sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Pour into a bottle and refrigerate. Syrup will last for about 1 month in an air-tight bottle in the fridge.
CHILE GRENADINE
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 pasilla or guajiro chile, seeded and crushed
In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cover and let steep 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and chill before using. Makes 1 3/4 cups.
