Start by selecting a tall glass and filling it generously with ice cubes until it's about halfway full.

Pour in the ginger ale or lemon-lime soda until the glass is about three-quarters full.

Next, slowly drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of grenadine into the glass, allowing it to sink to the bottom gently.

Now, cut a fresh lime and squeeze the juice into the glass, mixing it in gently with a spoon.

Finally, top your Shirley Temple with a couple of maraschino cherries and a slice of lime for garnishing.
