here is a great idea. i thought of this a while back and it took me a long time to try it out but now i love the stuff. buy your favorite brand of root beer. really good root beer is kind of hard to find. barqs, a&w, hires... etc are all too sweet for me. safeway's parkers brand root beer is the best i've ever found. there isnt a safeway around elkford for miles. i think the nearest is lethbridge. so while you're there, pick me up some parkers root beer and some ouzo or sambuca. if you want to make it a really strong drink, go ahead and add some dark rum. this is so good. ouzo and sambuca are from italy or greece and they taste like anise (black licorice) this goes with root beer like a son of a gun.

sambuca and ouzo are both clear and when mixed with clear water turn milky white. its really kinda cool to watch.

try mixing them with cola. i bet thats good too, and because they are both so sweet they also work excellently to sweeten your coffee.

ps. saparilla is like root beer.

i quite like ouzo as well - the turkish version "yeni raki" is also very nice.
ouzo is dirt cheap in germany - about 4 euros a bottle.
i am more of a purist when it comes to my schnapps - but i imagine you are right about the root beer mix.
too bad you can't get root beer in germany.

There isn't really any root beer in Germany, so it tastes sort of weird to me.
Ouzo is good, sambuca too. But as Mandi already put it, I don't like mix drinks much either. Coffee and milk are the only two liquids I like mixed. And... on a second thought, rum with milk and kalua, which would make a white russian.

i've heard, rum, milk, and kahlua called a kahlualizer (with a tiny and probably unnecessary splash of coke).

that sounds kinda fun. i just wish i could buy sugar free rootbeer. thats why i like parkers because its not as sweet.

I love rootbeer so much. Problem is being a diabetic i have to drink diet... which is even harder to find. Best thing I've found for diet is surely MUG. Im hooked but it is hard to find. seems to come into the grocery stores only on certain months. its a hard knock life.

i am thinking that brewing our own would be a good way to go for low sugar content greg. i would love to have the ability to brew delicious authentic root beer. with real roots! this is something that i have fantasized about for a while now. i have a friend in elkford thats thinking of buying some pre-mix stuff that you can brew yourself.
