I really like the drink they call a Shirley Temple - you know, Sprite with Lord-knows-what thrown in there to make it go pink. Because clearly the most important thing about a drink is that it should match your outfit.
But I was thinking the other night, I bet a Shirley Temple would taste pretty good with a shot of vodka chucked in. Only what would you call it?
I suggest, the Drew Barrymore*.
* GET IT???!!! Because she was a nine-year-old alcoholic**.
**Too soon?

lol you rock... The Drew Barrymore.
Kicking back an Absolute Raspberry & Coke zero right now. What would you call that?
Instead of a high five, I think you just get a LOHAN for that.
Hmm, possibly, but I'll let you off after that display of sharp wit...
Too soon? Is Drew Barrymore dead and no one told me?
SPOT ON! :)
I'm still stoked that summer's almost on us and I finally found my favourite margarita mix while I was south of the border last week and brought some back. First weekend we go camping this year I'm taking a bucket of margs with me. Rock on!
There actually are alcholic versions of the classic Shirley Temple.
Shirley Temple black - w/Kahlua (never tried it)
Dirty Shirley - w/Vodka (yummy!!)
And that pink stuff is grenadine. A super-sweet syrup that was originally made from pomegranate juice.
Eric - Regular name: Berry Zero. Star name: Nicole Richie.
Scope - It burns, it burns!
Mo - Thank you sir!
Tenny - No, but it's unkind to make fun of someone's alcoholism. Especially since she seems like such a sweetheart.
Veggie - Hmm, not a big margarita fan. Make it a daiquiri and I'm there.
SRG - Ooh, I'm ordering a Dirty Shirley the next time I go out drinking (oh wait, that'll be never... crap!). Also - thank you for teaching me something new! I thought it was grenadine but I didn't know that was derived from pomegranate!
I ordered a Dirty Shirley one time and came away with the barman's wife.
I'm here all week, folks.
Just Mmmm. I need to go out tonight and get me some Dirty Shirleys and Nicole Riches.
TIR - You forgot to tell them to try the veal.
Alex - Heh, sounds like a big night!
Haha. A Shirley Temple Black. That's classic. When I was a little kid and my family spent summers at the shore, the bartender at our corner bar used to make me what he called a Darth Vader, which was a Shirley Temple with Coke instead of 7-Up. I bet that could be named a Shirley Temple Black, too!
Grenadine is traditional, but it's also good with the syrup from the jar of maraschino cherries. Mmmm.
HA HA HA! Drew or Lindsay or Mischa.
Nice one! It's funny to remember that, too, because now she seems like the most put-together, sweetest, innocent girl in Hollywood. I guess she got all her wild side out early.
WWW - OMG. Maraschino cherry syrup? I think I just died and went to insulin shock heaven.
Cora - Yes! But the Mischa and the Lindsay come in cocaine-rimmed glasses.
Shawn - Yeah, sh does seem nice. If a little over-blessed in the chin department. Have you seen the size of that thing?
nice. A little harsh, but nice.
