Is sarsparilla an actual drink or is it western movie folkore?
Is it still being made and enjoyed or is this just me having watched too many movies?
Answers:
Yes, and apparently still sold. (the article says it's flavor is part of the Root Beer mixture, too)
""Sarsaparilla in its carbonated beverage form is available in the United Kingdom, produced, for over 115 years, by Fitzpatrick's Herbal Health, Britain's "Last original Temperance Bar", noted for being the oldest known producer of the Sarsaparilla drink.[1]
In the U.S., Target has released a naturally and artificially flavored Sarsaparilla soda under the Archer Farms label.""
