For the launch of our new Shirley Temple blend, we introduced our own tea take on the classic mocktail.

Like so many kids, we loved going out for dinner when it meant we got to play grown-up with our very own mocktail, and that was usually the iconic Shirley Temple.

Named after the starlet herself, a Shirley Temple adds juicy cherry and often sweet grenadine, orange and occasionally ginger to a base of sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. We went all out and made a whole new tea based on this very drink—and it tastes just like an elevated version of our nostalgic childhood fave!

And then, just because we could, we turned that tea into a sweet, sparkling bevvie with cherry syrup, agave and a maraschino cherry on top. Meet the original mocktail’s sophisticated cousin: the Shirley Teatini.
