Roy Rogers Cocktail

Use chilled ingredients for the best flavor and to keep the ice from melting too quickly and diluting the drink.

Fill the glass with enough ice to keep the drink chilled.

Adjust the ratio of ingredients as desired.

Garnish with a maraschino cherry for a classic Roy Rogers look.

Serve with a straw for easy sipping.

Experiment with different garnishes for a fun and personalized touch.

Can I use a different type of juice?

While orange juice is traditional, you can experiment with other juices like pineapple or apple for different flavors.

Is it necessary to use grenadine?

Grenadine adds a sweet and unique flavor and splash of color, but you can adjust the amount or omit it if desired.

Can I add alcohol to make it a cocktail?

To turn it into an alcoholic drink, you can add a shot of vodka or rum.

Can I make this drink sugar-free?

Use sugar-free ginger ale and a sugar-free grenadine substitute for a lower sugar version. Orange juice has natural sugar so it won't be totally sugar free.

How should I serve this drink?

Serve it in a highball glass or any tall glass over ice.

Can I prepare this drink in advance?

It's best served fresh to maintain the fizz of the ginger ale. If desired you could combine the orange juice and grenadine and keep in the fridge. Add the ginger ale just before serving.

Is there a substitute for ginger ale?

You can use club soda for a less sweet version or a different soda like lemon-lime for a twist.

Can I make a large batch for a party?

Yes, you can multiply the ingredients and serve it in a pitcher for easy serving.

Can I add other garnishes?

Feel free to garnish with a slice of orange, lime, or lemon.
