Root Liquor from Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction is the trendy liquor of the season. Featured in the pages of Real Simple (part of the gifts for under $50 section), this organic, 80 proof liquor has the childhood nostalgia of root beer barrels with the appropriately adult kick of alcohol. If you ever wondered why God created cream soda, the answer is to drink with root liquor, making a light drink that’s good for fall afternoons. Interested in dessert? Make yourself a Root Liquor Root Beer Float. A refreshing Tsunami with Root, Lemonade, Meyers Dark Rum and Ginger Beer is perfect for those unseasonably warm days this year (although I prefer mine with a bit more root and a bit less Meyers). Here are the recipes for all three of these excellent drinks:
Tsunami
2 oz. Myers dark rum
1 oz. ROOT
fresh lemonade
ginger beer
Combine ROOT and rum in a pint glass. Fill remainder of pint glass with fresh lemonade and top off with ginger beer.

Root and Cream Soda
4 oz. Cream Soda (Spreckers is EXCELLENT in this)
1.5 oz. ROOT
Pour ROOT into glass, then Cream Soda (adding the carbonated bev. second helps to mix)
ROOT Float
Play on root beer float we know and love from childhood.
1.5oz ROOT
1.5oz Cruzan rum cream (or other light rum cream)
1.5 cola
Combine ingredients over ice in shake. Make sure you have a tight seal and shake. Strain into glass. Served straightly chilled.
Root would be an exciting addition to any holiday gathering this year. Just make sure you don’t pour it all away on your guests
