Much like the Jolly Roger, the Buck Rogers is a variation of the popular kid's drink, the Roy Rogers. Only this time, we've taken the grandaddy of all Whiskey and thrown him into the mix.
Prepare a tall glass with as much ice as you prefer. I personally only like a smidgen of ice to start. Start with your splash or two of Grenadine, then add the whiskey. Jack Daniels is my preference here, but if you're going for cheap, you can't go wrong with Evan Williams. Top it off with the cola of your choice & toss a cherry or two on top.
