Thanks to climate change and new local fauna, a heavy does of antibiotics have robbed me of this weeks cocktail allotment. I've taken it as a sign to check a mocktail off my list. So, this week, drink to your health. My version of a Shirley Temple. 🍸🍹#mocktail

Load a chilled highball with hand-crafted spear of ice. Start with a little red bitter soda then the other ingredients sans garnish, and you can build this in a highball. Garnish with the cherry. 

The thing with the classic version is that unless you have really high quality ginger ale, it can get cloying sweet quick. No problems here with the red bitter soda. By the way, not on antibiotics, I'd slip some Cardamom bitters in there. Alas...
