Haskap Shirley Temple

A glass full of Shirley Temple reminds me what it means to be a kid.

I remember going with my parents to large family dinners and there would always be a Shirley Temple in it for me if I was on my best behavior.

Now I have gotten to a cycle of life where I have kids of my own to share this delightful treat with, except that I like to sneak in a few extra ingredients like haskap simple syrup (instead of commercial grenadine) and top it up with Sap Sucker which is carbonated maple water for that extra bit of hydration and minerals.

Making these is a breeze. Add juice and syrup to the bottom of the glass, top with ice and fill with soda. The beautiful gradient look comes from pouring in the soda slowly at the star so that it doesn’t mix in fully.

Pop in a straw and honestly, it’s everything you remember from childhood and more.
