If you are looking for a delicious mocktail for the whole family to enjoy, you gotta try this Roy Rogers Drink.

    This tasty vintage mocktail requires only 3 simple ingredients and is perfect for any occasion or season - no alcohol required! It's a great way to spice up plain soda, making it suitable for both children and adults.

    📖 Variations

    • Lemon - add in a couple of slices of lemon to add a lemon flavor to the drink.
    • Female version - The female version of the Roy Rogers drink is the Shirley Temple mocktail.

    🍽Equipment

    The only equipment you will need for this recipe are a couple of straws, a glass for each serving, and a jigger to measure the grenadine.

    🥫Storage

    You won't need to worry about any storage as you only prepare a serving of this at a time.

    💭Top tip

    You can adjust the amount of grenadine that you add to the glass. We suggest ½ oz, however, you add less or more depending on your tastes.

    👩🏻‍🍳FAQ

    What flavor is grenadine?

    Many people assume that grenadine is cherry-flavored, but in reality, it's made with pomegranate. With its appealing tart-sweet flavor, grenadine makes for a superb cocktail mixer not only because of its taste but also for its vibrant hue.

    What's the difference between a Shirley Temple and a Roy Rogers?

    They are similar in the fact that they both use grenadine. However, the Roy Rogers drink uses cola, and the Shirley Temple uses lemon-lime soda or ginger ale.

    What is a Maraschino cherry?

    Frequently referred to as a 'bar cherry', Maraschino cherries are sugared and preserved. The term hails from the marasca cherry, mainly originating in Croatia.
