Roy Rogers

A Roy Rogers is a non-alcoholic mixed drink made with cola and grenadine syrup, and traditionally garnished with a maraschino cherry. The drink originated in the 1940s and is named after American actor and singer Roy Rogers , who was popular at the time. It was likely named after Rogers because he did not drink alcohol. The Roy Rogers is similar to other non-alcoholic beverages, specifically the Shirley Temple. Their recipes are similar: the Roy Rogers uses cola instead of the ginger ale and/or lemon-lime soda used in the Shirley Temple. The Roy Rogers was reportedly sold as a boy's alternative to the Shirley Temple in the 1950s and 1960s.
