Millie Bobby Brown Just Shared Her Favorite Drink, and It’s a Classic Mocktail
Key Takeaways
- Millie Bobby Brown says her favorite drink is a Shirley Temple.
- Her go-to way to make it uses four ingredients.
- While the Shirley Temple is often made with ginger ale, Brown opts for Sprite.
On her press tour for her new Netflix movie The Electric State, Millie Bobby Brown has been cooking up some great content—both figuratively and literally. Most recently, Brown was spotted making paella for Vogue, saying it’s one of her favorite dinners.
Alongside that dinner, the actor mixed up her go-to drink that she has been swearing by for years, and it’s a non-alcoholic sip. The classic Shirley Temple is Brown’s favorite beverage to order.
“I grew up in the industry always going to fancy dinners and meeting fancy people, and to feel fancy myself, I would order a Shirley Temple,” the Stranger Things star explained. “And now growing up and being 21, my preference is always going to be a Shirley Temple.” The best part about it? It only takes four ingredients to make at home. Here’s how Brown likes hers.
In a tall glass with ice, Brown pours in “a splash” of grenadine before squeezing in fresh lime juice from a wedge. The base of this drink is often ginger ale, but she opts for Sprite in her glass and fills it up to the top. Brown garnishes with the squeezed lime wedge plus a Maraschino cherry and mixes her drink with the back of a spoon before tasting it.
“Doesn’t that look so good?” Brown exclaims. “And guess what this doesn’t do? Leave you questioning everything you did the night before. Always choose Shirley.”
We love that the actor’s go-to drink is a mocktail. While an occasional alcoholic drink is totally OK and can be included in a healthy eating pattern, regular alcohol intake has been shown to cause liver damage, increase cancer risk and may negatively impact mental health.
For a night out with friends, have that cocktail. But for a regular evening sip, a Shirley Temple is an easy and tasty alternative—there’s a reason why Brown calls it the “best drink ever.” If you’re looking for no-added-sugar mocktails, our Sangria Mocktail and Watermelon Mint Mocktail are up your alley.
