What is a Roy Rogers Drink?

The Roy Rogers drink is said to be inspired by a famous American singer named Roy Rogers. Because Rogers did not drink alcohol, he would most likely order this classic mocktail made of Coke and grenadine. And so became this well known alcohol-free drink! Soda shops served this tasty drink in the 1950’s and it has since become a non-alcoholic menu favorite! Grenadine has a pomegranate base and adds a sweet tartness to the drink.

If you’re looking for more mocktail or non-alcoholic options like this Roy Rogers drink, then I have you covered! Try this fruity lava flow, a tropical mocktail favorite. It’s great to have options, and most fun and festive drinks can be made without alcohol like this virgin mojito or classic eggnog.

Roy Rogers Tips

Make your Roy Rogers drink just the way you like it! I have tips to meet everyone’s needs, even caffeine-free options for kids. This is the easiest drink to make for the whole family.

  • Grenadine Syrup: You can add more grenadine syrup to flavor the drink, just depending on your taste preference! Make it as sweet as you want.
  • Coke-Cola Options: For a low-sugar option, sub the regular Coke for Coke Zero or Diet Coke. Use caffeine-free Coke for kiddos because they have enough energy as it is!
  • Other Soda Options: Don’t like Coke? Although Coke is traditionally used, you can substitute it for other sodas. Try using Pepsi or Dr. Pepper if you’re into that.

I recommend serving this Roy Rogers drink immediately. Prepare it right before serving. Chill the Coke ahead of time and serve over ice.
