From low-cal root beer to Marlon Wayans’s favorite Jordans.
A longtime mission in my life is finding the best diet root beer. That ineffable mix of vanilla, licorice, and wintergreen flavors, a little bit of anise or nutmeg, perhaps — it’s a liquefied spice cake of a drink. Despite its being an East Coast invention, I’ve found it difficult to obtain a quality root beer in Brooklyn. Diet Barq’s was my favorite until recently, when I was introduced to. It goes down like velvet but has the gentlest sparkle on the tongue.
The sweetness comes from “pure Wisconsin honey,” whatever that means, but it tastes less artificial than others. According to the Sprecher website, a mysterious brewmaster “combines a host of flavors in a gas-fired brew kettle, then ages it just long enough to achieve peak flavor.” Yum! The only downside is it’s not easy to find. I’ve been ordering it from the brewery’s website, where a 12-pack goes for $32. This price may seem exorbitant, but the soda comes in 16-ounce cans.
