A Roy Rogers is a non-alcoholic mixed drink made with cola and grenadine syrup,[1] and traditionally garnished with a maraschino cherry. The drink's lack of alcoholic content allows it to be served as a "mocktail" to people who do not, cannot, or don't want to drink alcohol. The drink is named after Roy Rogers (1911–1998), an actor and singer.
