6-year-old \u2018Shirley Temple King\u2019 goes viral for adorable drink reviews theshirleytempleking Instagram \/ via The Drink GuyYoung Instagramer Leo Kelly, better known as \u2018theshirleytempleking,\u2019 is going viral for some of the most adorable but honest reviews of his namesake, the Shirley Temple. The simple drink that combines grenadine, Ginger Ale or lemon-lime soda, ice, and Maraschino cherries isn\u2019t always as straightforward as it seems. In fact, according to the Shirley Temple King, there\u2019s a ton of factors that can easily break a Shirly Temple\u2019s claim to fame. From the perfect ratio of grenadine used to not enough cherries in the cocktail, there\u2019s a lot that can go wrong for a mixture \u2013 and don\u2019t even get him started about using plastic cups. But the 6-year-old Instagram reviewer obviously caught onto something great, with a following of less than 600 as of January 27 to over 26,000 just a day later. The premise of his account is simple, he goes around \u201crating Shirley Temples (non-alcoholic duhh) across all sorts of establishments,\u201d according to his Instagram bio. It seems like Kelly has his method of review down: take a look at the Shirley Temple in front of him, take a single sip, and off to calculate its place on a 10-point scale \u2013 10 being the highest rating. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7rX4oOFP7d\/ He told CTbites that the perfect Shirley Temple consists of \u201ca glass, 3 cherries, and a good balance of grenadine.\u201d His Instagram followers are treated to his pursuit of finding the perfect sip from restaurants or resorts in his local Connecticut area and beyond. And he doesn\u2019t hold back either. \u201cThat just tastes like cherry-flavored Ginger Ale,\u201d he said in his August 26 review for the Friendly\u2019s chain. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t even taste like a Shirley Temple, it tastes like a cherry-flavored Ginger Ale.\u201d https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B1pBAODHZrv\/ But the man can be pleased. \u201cThat is so good I\u2019m going to give that a 10,\u201d he said in a December 16 review for Lotte New York Palace\u2019s mix. \u201cBecause A, I never get to have these gourmet cups; B, there\u2019s so much cherries; and C, it\u2019s so good.\u201d Kelly is making major headway on the Instagram social ladder, and his keen sense of taste might have restaurants improving their cocktail in case they get a visit from The Shirley Temple King.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
