Description:
The Roy Rogers is a simple alcohol-free highball made with cola and grenadine. Essentially, it is a bar way to make cola more dessert-like and fruity, with a red tint from pomegranate syrup. The drink is named after American actor and singer Roy Rogers, one of the best-known screen cowboys of the twentieth century. In bar culture, it is often seen as the alcohol-free counterpart to the Shirley Temple: both are named after celebrities and built on sweet soda with grenadine. Difford’s Guide’s recipe is extremely simple, so the drink should not be overcomplicated: a cold tall glass, ice, and a gentle stir are enough.
