The Shirley Temple King has spoken, and unfortunately not everyone knows how to make the delicious drinks to his liking.

Six-year-old Leo Kelly — a Shirley Temple lover from Fairfield, Connecticut — is known for his obsession with the sweet, cherry-filled, non-alcoholic beverages. He rates every Shirley Temple he orders on Instagram, and has become so popular that Ellen DeGeneres invited him on her show to chat about his favorite drink, talk about the importance of cutting down on plastic cups and straws, and judge a professional taste testing.

Famous chefs Curtis Stone, Susan Feniger, and Cat Cora each whipped up their finest Shirley Temples for Kelly, who ruthlessly rated each. Spoiler alert: When Kelly dislikes a Shirley Temple he's absolutely incapable of hiding it.
