About the Roy Rogers
The Roy Rogers was named after the 1950s cowboy film star. It is the alcohol-free partner of the Shirley Temple.
The soda fountain family. Soda fountains spread across America in the late 1800s, serving flavoured syrups mixed with carbonated water. Many famous alcohol-free drinks, like the Shirley Temple, the Roy Rogers and the Italian soda, come from that tradition: syrup, citrus and bubbles.
