03History
1930s Hollywood — Chasen's or the Brown Derby, depending on which bartender you ask — built it for Shirley Temple, then six, who was too young for the real menu but not for the ceremony.
It endures because it's the first 'cocktail' most people ever have: ice, fizz, colour, and a cherry to fish out. The ritual matters more than the recipe.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
