Head to head
Shirley Temple and Switchel side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Shirley Temple has grenadine, lemon juice and ginger ale, the Switchel water, molasses, cider vinegar and ground ginger. In parts, a Shirley Temple is 1 grenadine, 1¼ lemon and 22 ginger ale; a Switchel is 20 water, 2 molasses and 1 cider vinegar. By volume, the Shirley Temple is 90% mixer and juice, 6% citrus and 4% syrup and sugar; the Switchel is 87% mixer and juice, 9% syrup and sugar and 4% citrus. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
They are about equally strong in the glass (both 0.0% ABV), and they hold about the same alcohol (0.00 standard drinks each). The Switchel has more calories (about 104 against 86) and more sugar (25.6 g against 19.9 g). Both are built and served in a highball.
