The Enhanced Shirley Temple builds on the classic mocktail — reportedly created at Chasen's restaurant in Beverly Hills in the 1930s for child actress Shirley Temple, the most popular box office star in America from 1935 to 1938 — by adding complexity through the inclusion of fresh orange juice, a quality grenadine made from real pomegranate, and a more considered garnish than the standard maraschino cherry. The standard Shirley Temple's commercial simplicity — ginger ale and grenadine — leaves room for improvement with quality ingredients, and the craft cocktail movement's emphasis on premium ingredients naturally touched the mocktail category too. The Enhanced version represents the bartender's approach to the classic: respecting the original's identity while elevating every component to its best possible expression.
