What's better thanSprecher root beer, a versatile beverage that appeals to the "kid" in all of us?
But did you know that our hometown root beer makes a great base for a variety of co*cktails?

1. Ultra easy root beer highball
You don’t need myriad ingredients to make a great spiked root beer drink, and these combinations are proof of that. Each one requires just two ingredients, which can be poured together over ice.
2 ounces bourbon, rum, spiced rum, vodka or Fireball 6 ounces Sprecher Root Beer Optional: garnish with orange peel or sprig of mint
Just pour the spirit into an ice-filled Collins-style (tall) glass, add the root beer and stir slowly to incorporate (you don’t want to destroy the carbonation by agitating it too much). Garnish and serve.
Notes on your choice of spirit:
Bourbon: The rootbeer dampens the sweetness of the bourbon, pulling out notes of vanilla and anise
Rum: Underscores the vanilla flavor in both the rum and the root beer
Spiced rum: Capitalizes on the spices in the root beer
Vodka: Gives you a spiked drink that lets the root beer shine
Vanilla vodka: Offers flavor that’s bit like a root beer float
Fireball whiskey: Enhances the spiciness of the root beer
2. Root beer old fashioned
4 ounces SoulBoxer Brandy Old Fashioned Sprecher Root Beer Optional: garnish with skewered orange and cherry
Pour SoulBoxer into an ice-filled rocks glass. Top with root beer. Garnish and serve.
3. Root beer White Russian
1 ounce vodka 1 ounce Kahlua or other coffee liqueur 1 ounce cream Sprecher root beer
