just for sweets here have another fast video for you then is just a drink that we've all known since we were little kids and it's called a Shirley Temple and they are primarily made with a roses grenadine which is red which is basically just like a thick cherry syrup and sprite or 7up or you know any kind of sparkling drink like that and some ice and some maraschino cherries I'm going to do a little twist on it because not everybody has the Roses syrup and you know in their cupboard and it's loaded full of colors and sugars and it's very thick and it's very sweet and not that maraschino cherry juice isn't but to make it a little bit less expensive and you want to make a fun drink your kids are having a sleepover or whatever and you want to make them some shirley temples but you don't have that grenadine and you're in your pantry and you do have maraschino cherries this is a great way to make a lighter version of a Shirley Temple and something that's not quite as sweet and not so much of a sugar high and with the new year starting you know people are looking for ways to cut calories back and and it's not a bad thing to do that for your children as well there's way too much sugar that our kids and us and we ingest it every day in our foods so anyway not to get on a tangent let's get this drink made basically I did it in a clear glass you could kind of see what we're doing and I have a cup full of ice now feel free to use crushed ice or cubed ice I have a jar of maraschino cherries and I actually got these i believe at the dollar store and if not they don't cost much more than about a dollar fifty usually I have some sprite zero which is the flavor of sprite without the caffeine and without the calories and so that's a good alternative for soda for your children because you know sugar or there's just so much sugar in regular soda so we are cutting the sugar probably more than in half in this drink so a Shirley Temple doesn't have to be a horrible drink and I always learned from my mom when I was little she always put a splash of orange juice and hers you don't have to do that a typical Shirley Temple I believe is just the 7up or sprite the grenadine and the cherry but some people like to add a little bit of fruity flavor so you can add some natural orange juice to that as well so what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and we're going to put our sprite zero you can use diet 7up you can use Diet Sprite you can you see our missed you can use squirt you can use any of those and if you want to make this into a mom and dad beverage and you want to spike it a little bit you could add yourself a shot of some citrus vodka in there or you know a cherry vodka or whatever you want and and change it up a little bit but this is the kid version alright so the next thing we're going to do is we are going to add about 2 teaspoons of the maraschino cherry juice and with that spoon we're going to go ahead and put a couple little maraschino cherries on top because that's what the kids looked or the most in those we used to have to get a side of maraschino cherries for my kids we're at the restaurants because that's all they cared about and at this point this is when you can choose to add your splash of orange juice or to just leave that out I'm going to add just a little dash because my mom always did that and it makes it a little bit you know more fruity go ahead and stir that up and then you might want to add two more cherries on top or just how about one because we're trying to cut the sugar a little bit here and maraschino cherries are definitely not on the health of your version but we just made our drink a little bit healthier it's all about changing your lifestyle so here is my version of a low-calorie Shirley Temple like I said you want to make the adult version add yourself a half a shot or shot of a flavored infused vodka cherry citrus whatever you want to do to that take a sip tastes just like a Shirley Temple from when I was a little girl it's perfect it's delicious your kids will absolutely love it so I wanted to share that with you if you enjoy this video give me a thumbs up please and share this on your Facebook page with your family and your friends go to my facebook page just for sweets or my group page recipe book and join those pages I would really like that we can I check those every day so we can also correspond on those as well and I hope everyone is having a wonderful beginning to a new year I've got a lot of goals set for myself this year and believe it or not weight losses on the bottom of them usually it's on the top but there's some other things I need to to change in my life and then that will just come with it so anyway you got my little spiel I hope you all have a wonderful day and until next time next video god bless
