Entertaining for the Holidays Drink Recipes: Roy Rogers

I’m gonna let you all in on a little known fact about me.  Years ago, I took mixology classes.  It served several purposes for me.  #1 I was having a hard initially finding a job with my degree so it was something to fall back on…just in case. #2 It seemed like fun and it was something for my fiance-at-the-time and I to do together.  #3 I thought it might be useful at parties and maybe to help family members out for weddings or whatever.

Honestly I don’t use it much anymore unless I decide to make up a drink for myself which is very few and far between.  Still I thought maybe some of you would like to have some of these recipes.  I’m going to share a few drink recipes throughout my holiday guide to help you with your holiday entertaining.

Today’s recipe is a non-alcoholic drink called a Roy Rogers.  Very simple.

What You Need:

• 8 oz or 4 oz glass (your choice)
• spoon or stirring stick
• cola
• grenadine syrup (found in most grocery stores near the non-alcoholic drink mixes usually in the soda aisle)
• maraschino cherry for garnish
• ice if desired

If using ice, put the ice in the glass first.  Pour your cola of choice over the ice.  Add 1 oz of grenadine syrup.  Give a gentle stir to mix in the grenadine.  Garnish with a cherry.  If you’d like to make it festive add a red and white striped straw and serve in a holiday glass.

Items needed for a Roy Roger drink

Torani – 750mL Grenadine Flavoring Syrup

If entertaining it’s worth investing in a bottle of grenadine many drink recipes both alcoholic and non-alcoholic use grenadine.

 

CherryMan – CherryMan Farm to Market All Natural Maraschino Cherries With Stems – 10 oz Jar

Around the holidays you  might need maraschino cherries for cookies and candies.  Save some though for drink garnishes too!
