Origin
The cocktail may have been invented by a bartender at Chasen's, a restaurant in West Hollywood, California, to serve then-child actress Shirley Temple. However, other claims to its origin have been made.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Temple herself was not a fan of the drink, as she told Scott Simon in an NPR interview in 1986:
In 1988, Temple filed a lawsuit to prevent the sale of a bottled soda version using her name.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In October 2024, American soft drink brand 7 Up introduced a limited release Shirley Temple-flavored variety, which was later reintroduced in October 2025.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=":0">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
With alcohol
