Default Sarsaparilla

Anyone else like this, or is it just me?

Local supermarket have started stocking it but it isnt cheap, 93p for a 250ml bottle

Good to see it back, but could do with finding it cheaper

To use a similar quote to above (that gets me strange looks as well): To me Root Beer tastes like Ralgex smells.

Sounds disgusting, like dandelion and burdock


Fitzpatricks Sasparilla cordial

sarsaparilla
From: Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007

Aromatic flavouring agent originally made from the dried roots of several tropical smilax vines. Native to the southern and western coasts of Mexico to Peru, the plants are large, perennial, climbing or trailing vines with short, thick, underground stems that produce many prickly, angular, aboveground stems supported by tendrils. Once a popular tonic, sarsaparilla now is blended with wintergreen and other flavours and used in root beer and other carbonated beverages, or to flavour and mask the taste of medicines. In North America, the strongly aromatic roots of the wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis) and false, or bristly, sarsaparilla (A. hispida), of the ginseng family, are sometimes substituted for true sarsaparilla.
