Cherry Bomb Drink
One thing I absolutely LOVE creating is beverages. Whether it be cocktail, mocktail or homemade liquor – beverages are just so much fun for me. So I thought I would bring you all this delicious Cherry Bomb Mocktail that the whole family can enjoy. It’s only four ingredients and this mocktail recipe is amazing!
I don’t know about you – but cherry flavored anything tops my list of favorites. Do you love cherry flavored recipes or candies? I’m not normally a fruity sort of person – but something about cherry really gets my attention. I love making beverages, simple no bake treats using homemade cherry pie filling, tasty parfaits for breakfast & of course – homemade jam.
I remember loving a good Shirley Temple when I grew up and I spoil my kids with them too! Next up, Cherry Bombs!
Mocktail Recipes
So when it comes to making fun beverages I always grab for the grenadine first because it certainly curbs my craving for cherry and it brings me back to my childhood. I always remember when were at weddings and I was dying for a kiddie drink with grenadine! I always felt special and “cool” when I had one 😉
One thing I really like to do is create both a cocktail & mocktail version of the drinks I make so that they can be enjoyed by all – no matter the preference or age. It seems people are always looking for mocktail recipes!
This Cherry Bomb drink is simple with only four ingredients for the mocktail version. But if you want to jazz it up you can add a few ounces of rum when mixing for the crowd. Personally, I’m enjoying it with rum this summer. I’m done having babies and nursing, so I’m going to celebrate by having the adult version, but I still have friends that are in that phase so I’m sure I’ll being whipping up the mocktail recipe too. Plus, my kids are just like me and love having a fun mocktail to make them feel special!
This is definitely a favorite in this house.
We make it for game day, race day & festive holidays. It’s versatile & works great no matter the season. You can even make it for baby and wedding showers because it’s so pretty and easy!

Definitely add rum. Can’t wait for warmer weather here in the Midwest so we can enjoy this drink out on the deck BBQing.
It is a bit sweet but still darn good.

This is a typical Shirley Temple (minus the added lime juice) if you order it from a restaurant. Most restaurants don’t carry ginger ale, so if you order a Shirley Temple you’re most likely getting sprite and grenadine.
emily says
That a shirly temple with lime juice…
Gina Kleinworth says
It is similar in look Emily -however a Shirley Temple is actually ginger ale with just a splash of grenadine. This has a much stronger cherry flavor- so if you love cherry – this is definitely the drink for you.
Paige says
Actually, every Shirley Temple I’ve ever had was made with Sprite or 7-Up, never ginger ale.
