Parfaites pour nous rafraîchir ces boissons Merci
De rien, Delphine! Bonne journée 🙂
I forgot about Shirley Temple’s! They were my favorite drink growing up!
Yay… I’m glad I could remind you, Danielle! They were my favorite drink when I was little, too! I felt SO fancy sipping on one! 🙂
I have never had with orange juice either. I remember as a child my friends mother used to take us to her club where we got them. They were clear no oj in them. They were my favorite & we enjoyed the time so much. Good memories there. I do make them for my grandkids & now my granddaughter loves Shirley Temple movies.
Hi Leta ~ don’t they bring back such fun memories? The splash of O.J. is such a fun twist on the old classic, too. I also used to love watching those Shirley Temple movies! I can’t tell you how many times I watched ‘Heidi’. 🙂
Growing up, I used to love Shirley Temples! Still do, of course, just my drinks of choice have changed.
I used to have Shirley Temples with just Sprite, Grenadine, Maraschino Cherries and ice. I have never tried it with orange juice. The next time I have my nephew over I will have this recipe made for him and will definitely try it myself.
It’s delicious with the added little zing of O.J. ~ enjoy!! 🙂
