Why is it called a Roy Rogers Drink?

The Roy Rogers cocktail is named after the actor and singer Roy Rogers. He was very popular in older Western films in the 1940s and 1950s.

How to Make a Roy Rogers

To make a Roy Rogers, simply add cola to a drink with ice and add a splash of grenadine.

If you aren’t familiar with grenadine, it’s a syrup made from pomegranate juice that is used to flavor cocktails.

Roy Rogers Tips and Tricks

You can use any kind of cola such as Coke or Pepsi in this drink.
If you prefer to avoid caffeine, it works well with caffeine-free drinks as well (or even diet ones), but the grenadine does contain plenty of sugar, so be aware of that.
It’s best to use those cheap maraschino cherries in the store in a jar. They work great as a garnish and kids love to snack on them after they’ve finished their drink.
