Roland Garros is a bright, fruit-forward cooler served over ice in a lowball glass, built more like a modern, bar-made fruit mix than a codified classic with a well-documented backstory. With no single widely agreed origin to point to, you’ll find it sits comfortably in the contemporary “fresh fruit and syrup” family of drinks—designed to be colourful, approachable, and instantly refreshing.
On the palate, lemon brings the backbone: sharp, clean acidity that keeps everything lively. Simple syrup smooths that edge and lets the berries read as ripe rather than sour, while a dash of grenadine adds a deeper red-fruit sweetness that ties into the raspberry and strawberry. Orange rounds the citrus profile, softening the lemon’s bite with a gentler, sweeter citrus note, and the pineapple slice adds a mellow, tropical lift that makes the whole mix feel juicy and generous.
This is the kind of drink you reach for when you want something easygoing and crowd-pleasing—ideal for daytime sipping, warm-weather get-togethers, or as a sweet-tart option for anyone who loves fruit-led flavours. Serve it when you want colour in the glass and a palate that stays bright from first sip to last.

Ingredients
Cocktail Colin says:
Lemon leads with a sharp, juicy snap, quickly softened by simple syrup and a dash of grenadine, while strawberry, raspberry, and orange pile on jammy-red and citrusy sweetness, with pineapple adding a mellow tropical roundness. It works because the lemon’s acidity keeps the mixed-berry and grenadine sweetness from turning cloying, making it ideal for anyone who likes bright, fruit-salad-style coolers over ice.

FAQ's
What is the best way to serve the Roland Garros cocktail?
The Roland Garros cocktail is best served in a lowball glass, chilled to enhance the flavors of the fresh fruits. Since it's a cold, non-alcoholic drink, it's ideal for serving during the day or at events where alcohol is not preferred. You can add a few ice cubes or crushed ice to keep it cool.
Can I substitute any ingredients in the Roland Garros cocktail for something else?
Yes, the Roland Garros cocktail is quite versatile. If you're unable to find raspberries, you can substitute them with blackberries for a similar tartness. In case you're out of grenadine, a small amount of cranberry juice or a simple pomegranate syrup can replicate its sweet and tart flavor profile.
What are some garnishing tips for the Roland Garros cocktail?
To beautifully garnish the Roland Garros cocktail, you can use a skewer of fresh strawberries and raspberries, a pineapple wedge on the rim of the glass, or a twist of orange peel for a zesty aroma. Edible flowers can also add a visually appealing touch, reflecting the cocktail's fresh and fruity character.
