Where Did The Roy Rogers Drink Come From?
Roy Rogers was a famous singer and actor in the mid 20th century and is also known as the “King of the Cowboys.”
He was in over 100 movies, primarily Western films, and was also the start of The Roy Rogers Show which aired on NBC for six seasons in the 1950s. And while his roles didn’t earn him an Oscar, it did get a drink named after him.
But in all actuality, no one really knows how this mocktail came to be known as the Roy Rogers. Roy Rogers himself didn’t drink alcohol. Therefore, it’s quite possible a bartender in old Hollywood made them for him on the regular. But it’s never been confirmed.
