7UP has given us a present this vacation season. A brand new restricted version taste — Shirley Temple 7UP! Woo hoo! Santa lastly learn my letters. Opening doorways for folks and being a narc on people who fart in elevators actually paid off this yr.
Wait a minute.
A pomegranate AND cherry flavored 7UP? There’s been a seasonal Pomegranate 7UP earlier than, and Cherry 7UP has been round for many years. So this new Shirley Temple 7UP is only a mixture of two earlier varieties, making it a not-quite-a-brand-spanking-new restricted version taste. Bah humbug!
It’s additionally accessible in a Zero Sugar model, and together with 12-packs, there’s a 2-liter model, so share this festive drink with your pals at your vacation occasion.
Full disclosure: I’ve by no means had a Shirley Temple. Name me sheltered. Name me unworldly. Name me Shirley. Or name me somebody who has by no means bought a bottle of grenadine. However I’ve by no means had a chance to attempt one. For these unfamiliar with the old-timey, non-alcoholic blended drink, it combines lemon-lime soda or ginger ale with a splash of grenadine (a candy syrup comprised of pomegranates) and is topped with a maraschino cherry. Yup, that sounds old-timey.
Whereas my lips have by no means sipped on an precise Shirley Temple, I’ve consumed just a few cans of 7UP’s makes an attempt to honor the beverage named after somebody some people should Google, and it has put me in a festive temper. Shirley Temple 7UP is scrumptious. If I had been to supply this to a Grinch, ingesting it might make them smile.
However right here’s the factor I discover odd about this drink. Its taste jogs my memory of an Orange Julius. If I believe tougher than I ought to when ingesting a soda, I discover the cherry. However for essentially the most half, I style a mildly tart orange citrus taste. Possibly my style buds are damaged? Nevertheless, I’m unsure about that as a result of they efficiently decided this yr’s Mountain Dew VooDEW Thriller Taste.
However with that stated, this Shirley Temple 7UP is an excellent tasting soda and essentially the most satisfying 7UP restricted version taste I’ve had in a very long time. It’s miles higher than Pomegranate 7UP, which has tried to be a vacation factor twice.
Does this have to depart? Can it keep round? Or at the very least, convey it again each vacation season, Keurig Dr Pepper. I’ll narc on extra gassy people in elevators if that occurs.
