Rootbeer Spirit captures the nostalgic flavour of classic root beer in a smooth, handcrafted bottle made right here in Alberta. Built on our premium corn-based spirit, it combines sarsaparilla, rich vanilla, and warm baking spice into a deliciously smooth drink that works in every season.
Naturally gluten-free, this handcrafted rootbeer spirit delivers the real thing rather than a candy imitation. Whether you’re around a campfire, entertaining friends, or building the best float you’ve ever had, every sip delivers full root beer character and an exceptionally smooth finish.
Produced in small batches at Badlands Distillery, each bottle reflects our commitment to quality ingredients, careful craftsmanship, and memorable flavour. Made in Alberta using premium ingredients, it’s quickly becoming one of our signature handcrafted spirits.
The first aroma is classic sarsaparilla, followed by creamy vanilla, wintergreen, and a hint of licorice root. On the palate, you’ll notice full root beer flavour balanced with gentle sweetness before finishing smooth, warm, and clean rather than syrupy.
Unlike many novelty bottles on the shelf, our premium corn base lets the spice and vanilla come through without harsh alcohol notes or an artificial edge. At 30% alc./vol., it sits comfortably between a sipping spirit and a dessert or cocktail base.
This handcrafted favourite is made using premium corn-based spirit, making it naturally gluten-free while providing an exceptionally smooth finish. Most flavoured spirits on the shelf are built on a wheat base — ours isn’t, which matters if you’re avoiding gluten.
Every bottle is produced in Alberta using small-batch methods that focus on consistency, quality, and flavour. Instead of overwhelming sweetness, our rootbeer spirit offers a balanced profile that can be enjoyed ice-cold, over ice, or built into desserts and cocktails.
This versatile spirit can be enjoyed in many different ways:
Add two scoops of vanilla ice cream to a chilled mug, pour in 2 oz Rootbeer Spirit, then top slowly with cold root beer. Let it foam, add a straw and a spoon, and don’t overthink it. This is the serve that sells the bottle at every market we do.
Its smooth finish also makes it an excellent choice for summer barbecues, campfires, holiday gatherings, and relaxing evenings at home.
