Anyone tried this stuff?

What else would be in your liquor cabinet if Prohibition had stalled in 19th-century New England?

Steven Grasse has an answer. The Philadelphia ad man and history buff thinks the drink that's come down to us as root beer might have evolved in a completely different direction — one ending not in sugary soda but something rather stiffer. Local tipplers will soon get the chance to taste his theory. It's an 80-proof organic liqueur called ROOT, and it's debuting in Philadelphia liquor stores this month.

I have a bottle! My husband wrote about it a bit on his cocktail blog and we've had it a few ways, such as mixed with ginger beer.

It's really delicious! Very much a root beer like flavor, but more complex. The smell alone is divine. It's really nice to mix with something fizzy on a summer day.
