The Washington Post’s Lifestyle Section gave Art in the Age’s ROOT liqueur a great shout out last week.
In the piece, “Booze columnist” Jason Wilson provides some interesting, and adulatory, background on the history of root beer in Pennsylvania.
Evidently, root beer was born in a Philadelphia drugstore in the 1860s, as one Charles Hires figured out how to remove the alcohol from a root tea he had been served on his honeymoon, and add carbonation.
Wilson goes on to praise ROOT for its “genuinely lovely aroma of root beer,” and concocts two original cocktail recipes using the liqueur.
ROOT is made with pure cane sugar and a special essence of sassafras created from citrus, wintergreen and spearmint. It’s great to see the recognition of Philadelphia’s creative, and delicious, output. Check out where you can buy ROOT, here.
