{"product_id":"rootbeer","title":"Rootbeer","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRootbeer Spirit – Gluten-Free Root Beer Spirit Handcrafted in Alberta\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nRootbeer 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.\r\n\r\nNaturally 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.\r\n\r\nProduced 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.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eRootbeer Spirit Tasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThe first aroma is classic \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Root_beer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003esarsaparilla\u003c\/a\u003e, 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.\r\n\r\nUnlike 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.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Our Rootbeer Spirit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThis 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.\r\n\r\nEvery 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.\r\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Drink Rootbeer Spirit\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThis versatile spirit can be enjoyed in many different ways:\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eServe ice-cold straight from the freezer.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePour over fresh ice.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eTop with cream soda or root beer for a boosted classic.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003ePour over vanilla ice cream for an adult float.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eStir into cold brew coffee.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eMix into dessert-inspired cocktails.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAdult Root Beer Float Recipe\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nAdd two scoops of vanilla ice cream to a chilled mug, pour in 2 oz Rootbeer Spirit, then top slowly with cold root beer.
