All bar toolsThe story of the Shirley Temple
The Shirley Temple is named after the biggest child star of the 1930s. Several venues claim to have invented it, including Chasen’s in Beverly Hills and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu – supposedly so the young actress could have something festive to sip while the grown-ups drank cocktails. Shirley Temple herself later admitted she found the drink far too sweet.
