I remember growing up, my dad would order me either a Shirley Temple or Roy Rogers. I don't recall why they were called these names, but remember that one was Cherry Coke before Cherry Coke, the other was either Cherry flavored Sprite or 7-up. The cherry flavor came from Grenadine.

That was a Rob Roy in my day (although we probably were around the same day). Of course, some of us grew up in Soda land, and others in Pop land, and others in Coke (no matter what it was) land.

A Rob Roy is an actual cocktail - basically a Manhattan made with Scotch.Don't you mean Roy Rodgers?

Shasta Black Cherry was the best fruit flavored soda ever, and the grapefruit was also good.
Back in the day, if one, or more likely one's parents, ordered a Shirley Temple in a restaurant with a bar, it was made with carbonated water from the soda gun, not actual commercial soda like 7-Up. And if one was really lucky, one could add the cherry from Dad's Rye Manhattan to their Shirley Temple.
These days if a parent gave a kid the cherry from their alcoholic beverage, somebody would probably call CPS.
