Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 All that about authenticity and yet he uses lemon juice from a squeeze bottle. most of the world doesn’t like rootbeer because it is the basic flavor used to make medicines, cough syrup, for example.

Chili Ron Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Howdy, Diet root beer is the only diet drink I like. I cant believe how terrible some diet pop tastes, yet it sells. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I figure it has been the best part of 50 years or more, since I dug any sassafras root , that was when I was a kid , and it was sent to an Uncle in Calif, CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 When I was a kid we made sassafras tea. One Dad in the neighborhood was quite a woodsman and hunter and taught his sons. Haven't thought about it in years. None I know of near here or I'd try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Yup!! I'm with Presidio!! I are also lazy and it much much easier to just buy my Root Beer. I also happen to be a big fan of "Virgils" Root Beer. Quite Yummy you betcha!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Barrel, SASS 34765 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 When EOT first came to NM, they had a vendor that sold root beer and other flavors. You could buy their bottle and get it refilled for a dollar. Got a lot of refills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 When I started driving and dating, there was an A&W in town. It was the local hangout. You could get a baby mug of root beer for 5 cents. I think a big mug for 15. You could buy it by the gallon in a glass jar. Take it home and bring it back for refill. We have sassafrass here on the farm. Drank sassafrass tea often. Suppose to thin your blood. Sweeten with honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 My uncles made root beer a few times. The caps all popped. That suggests there might have been some yeast in the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 About once every 10 years or so, I'll stop and get a root beer at the A & W. Not a giant, just a medium. Tastes just like it used to, good...but then I don't buy another one for another 10 years. Don't know why, just do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
