About Carbonated beverage, root beer
Root beer is a sweet, foamy soft drink with a deep, spicy-sweet flavor traditionally derived from sassafras root and other botanicals (now usually from safe artificial or natural flavorings). Despite the name it contains no alcohol, and unlike most colas it is typically caffeine-free.
At around 41 calories per 100 grams its calories come from sugar, with no meaningful nutrients to speak of. As with any regular soda, a full serving carries a large amount of added sugar, so it sits firmly in the occasional-treat category.
Its rich, creamy flavor is what makes root beer the classic base for a root-beer float, the fizzy drink poured over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Caffeine-free versions make it a common choice for children and for evenings.
