W<\/span>hen you think \u201csarsaparilla,\u201d do you hear Sam Elliott\u2019s dusty drawl? Yosemite Sam\u2019s flustered bark? Though more easily found in old Westerns than on supermarket shelves, this soft drink is uniquely suited to modern amaro-loving palates. Sarsaparilla gets its name from the dried root bark of Smilax ornata, a trailing vine native to parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean. Used for centuries in medicinal tea, it became a key ingredient in early American soft drinks, where sassafras, wintergreen, and licorice tempered the root\u2019s bitterness. Contemporary takes on the drink are artificially flavored, but the best of them retain a hearty earthiness.<\/p>\n

Consider it root beer\u2019s ornery grandpappy: Before Big Cola flattened the American palate, sarsaparilla root\u2014combined with sweet sassafras and woody birch oil\u2014brought big, bold flavors to the soft-drinking public. At their best, today\u2019s sarsaparillas retain the bracing, medicinal character of their forebears. Spiky, raw cheeses will enhance its herbal flavors, or go for something with enough creamy richness and complexity to stand up to the sweet.<\/p>\n

Sarsaparilla Root Tea<\/h3>\n

For centuries, Native peoples across the American continent used sarsaparilla to treat everything from colds to psoriasis to ringworm to leprosy. Spanish and English colonists alike favored the tea as a treatment for syphilis. Today, we can appreciate its wintergreen, anise, and licorice flavors as a palate cleanser or digestif\u2014a sweet, nutty aged Gouda makes it dessert.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve tried adding cola or root beer to your pulled pork or beef chili, you know that braising with a soft drink can tenderize your meat while adding surprisingly subtle flavors. Sarsaparilla brings a nice hit of sweetness and a little herby complexity\u2014crumble something buttery and salty atop for a well-balanced bowl.<\/p>\n
