If you want to try a different root beer, head over to industrial plastics and paints. They sell bottles of sarsaparilla.

The A&W root beer slurpees at A&W restaurants are very good.

You can get a great natural sasparilla concentrate at Yates market. Just add to club soda, and voilà!
Hubby also made a martini with it, turned out a big success.

Pepsi didn’t even have club soda for the grocery store today. Weak! Happened to be in Victoria so filled up the car at Save On on Tillicum. Left four cases for the plebes.

On that note, the Rootside syrups from Esquimalt are pretty good! As are their vermouths, bitters and amaro spritz’s.

My dad used to make homemade root beer in the 1960s using the Hire's syrup. It was pretty good! I miss Hire's root beer.
