Shirley Temple Kit with homemade grenadine! What could be more Christmasy than the Canadian version of the Shirley Temple drink? 2 parts ginger ale and 1 part orange juice, over the rocks and with a splash of grenadine? Lose the maraschino cherries, unless you can find some without artificial dye (FD&C Red 40) and garnish with pomegranate seeds and a slice of orange instead. (The grenadine to the left is a double recipe of one in the above link.)
A sweet little gift like this could include 4 cocktail glasses and all the components of the drink: homemade grenadine, excellent ginger ale, fresh orange juice and a couple organic oranges. (This also looks like a great recipe for grenadine.)
