This 6-year-old food critic reviews just one drink: Shirley Temples.
Leo Kelly is only in first grade, but he’s already a connoisseur of the nonalcoholic cocktail, posting video reviews of his grenadine-filled exploits to his Instagram account @theshirleytempleking.
“This is the first time I’ve ever had a Shirley Temple with a cherry outside, not inside — but let’s try it out,” says the pint-sized influencer in one October video, before taking a sip. He awards it a 7.8 on a 10-point scale.
The pint-sized critic tells The Post his inspiration for the account began when his Fairfield County, Connecticut-based family was on vacation in Rhode Island in August. Leo asked if he could have one.
“Then I drank it, and I was like, mmm, this is really good,” he says. He asked his dad if he could make an Instagram to review them. “He said, ‘yeah sure’ and I said I think ‘Shirley Temple King’ is a good name.”
Little Leo’s 300-some followers jumped Monday night to his current 24,600 fans as of Tuesday afternoon, after a tweet about his “brutally honest reviews,” went viral on Twitter.
The follower increase, Leo says, has left him “really mind blown.”
