Head to head
Shirley Temple and Virgin Mary side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
Both have lemon juice. Only the Shirley Temple has grenadine and ginger ale; only the Virgin Mary has tomato juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish and Tabasco, celery salt and pepper. In parts, a Shirley Temple is 1 grenadine, 1¼ lemon and 22 ginger ale; a Virgin Mary is 10 tomato and 1 lemon. By volume, the Shirley Temple is 90% mixer and juice, 6% citrus and 4% syrup and sugar; the Virgin Mary is 91% mixer and juice and 9% citrus. 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 Shirley Temple has more calories (about 86 against 31) and more sugar (19.9 g against 4.5 g). Both are served in a highball; the Shirley Temple is built, the Virgin Mary stirred.
