Orange Creamsicle Shirley Temple

Orange Creamsicle Shirley Temple brings cup crushed ice, cup orange soda and the rest of the crew together in a recipe that is practical enough for a normal kitchen but still has enough personality to avoid tasting like committee food.

Orange Creamsicle Shirley Temple

What It Is

Mix the taste of orange and and cherries into this sparkling drink thats great all year. Orange soda, cream soda and cherries in full retro diner mode.

Origin

This version is connected to for this recipe.. I keep that connection as part of the recipe’s personality without pretending every dish arrived with a notarized birth certificate.

Fun Fact

The cookbook version really does pair ½ cup crushed ice with ½ cup orange soda. That combination comes straight from the original recipe, not from a late-night refrigerator séance.

Notes

Taste near the end and adjust. Salt, acid and heat are much easier to add than remove, despite what some of my more enthusiastic recipes occasionally imply.

**This dish means well. Some numbers above are having a bit of a moment. Delicious? Absolutely. A daily habit? Let's not. Eat it, enjoy it, then maybe take the stairs.

Substitutions

No specific substitution note is given in the cookbook. Spoon & Scribble option: adjust sweetness to taste and swap similar fresh fruit or sparkling water where it keeps the same basic drink.

Storage

Cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate in a covered container. Keep crisp garnishes separate whenever possible so tomorrow’s lunch does not become damp architecture.

Freezing

Freeze cooked components in meal-sized airtight portions where practical. Dairy-heavy sauces and fresh garnishes may change texture, so add those fresh after reheating when possible.
