Paige Bueckers' Shirley Temple Gatorade sounds weird, tastes ... good
Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers loves a good Shirley Temple. So, Gatorade made a custom flavor for her and sent it my way. If you're unfamiliar with why Gatorade would go out of its way to make such a strange flavor. Allow me to explain: Bueckers, who partnered with the company in 2021, has never been shy about her love for the classic drink. In fact, she's gone out of her way to tweet about how much they mean to her. "I know a Shirley Temple hates to see me coming," Bueckers shared in 2024. After a recent home win against the Golden State Valkyries, Gatorade surprised Bueckers with the limited edition creation, and she was totally stoked. "Shirley Temple is like my favorite drink of all time," she excitedly told the media. "So, they put it in a Gatorade flavor. So, pretty fire." Shout-out to the good folks at Gatorade because they graciously sent me several bottles of Bueckers' favorite flavor, and I tried it. We decided to see if it was actually "pretty fire." Gatorade's Paige Bueckers-inspired Shirley Temple flavor grade: B I won't lie. A Shirley Temple Gatorade sounds absolutely strange ― weird even ― but it tastes ... good? Upon opening the bottle, there's this huge burst of cherry scent, and I knew immediately I was in for a ride. However, to my surprise, it tastes exactly how you think Shirley Temple mixed with Gatorade would taste. (It's hard to explain, but those who know, know.) There's a sweet punch of flavor that stands out immediately, and reflects what would typically be the Grenadine syrup from a Shirley Temple. What's more, while there is no ginger ale, there's an odd something (Gatorade magic perhaps?) that hangs in the background, which gives the subtle undertones of ginger ale. The only thing missing from this is the literal cherry Shirley Temples carry to top it all off. This special Gatorade flavor also made me think it would taste amazing frozen. Like a slushie of sorts, or like those flavored Fun Pop sticks we used to eat during the summer as kids. (You know the ones. Those flavored frozen juice tubes probably gave us a brain freeze more times than we care to admit because we ate them so fast. It tastes like that. Hello, nostalgia and Summer in a bottle!) Anyways, this is one of the most Paige Bueckers things I've ever seen, and Gatorade pretty much nailed it as only they can. Kudos to them. It was solid. I probably wouldn't drink it every day ― I'll leave that to Bueckers ― but it was an awesome experience.
