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.{{cite news |url = http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Sep/28/ln/hawaii709280385.html |title = Royal Hawaiian to close for renovations |access-date = September 13, 2019 |work = The Honolulu Advertiser |archive-date = February 1, 2014 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140201230758/http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/Sep/28/ln/hawaii709280385.html |url-status = dead }} Temple herself was not a fan of the drink, as she told Scott Simon in an NPR interview in 1986:
{{quote|The saccharine sweet, icky drink? Yes, well... those were created in the probably middle 1930s by the Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood and I had nothing to do with it. But, all over the world, I am served that. People think it's funny. I hate them.

Adding 1.5 US fluid ounces (44 ml) of vodka or rum produces a "Dirty Shirley".{{cite web |title = Shirley Temple |url = http://www.liquor.com/recipes/shirley-temple/ |work = Liquor.com |access-date = January 30, 2017 }}
