Sarsaparilla
Snake River Sarsaparilla
Jackson Hole Soda Co. · Old West craft sarsaparilla
Jackson, Wyoming, USA
A frontier-styled sarsaparilla that leans herbal and old-fashioned rather than candy-sweet, opening on earthy sassafras root with a thread of birch and quillaia-driven smoothness. Cane sugar and caramel color pull it toward a cola-adjacent middle, while soft vanilla rounds a finish that stays smooth without ever turning fully creamy. It is restrained and food-friendly, the kind of bottle that reads as nostalgic Old West rather than dessert-in-a-glass. A faint note of artificial flavoring keeps it just short of clean-label craft purity.
