The taste

What root beer vodka actually tastes like.

Zyra Root Beer Rush is infused with real sarsaparilla, the root behind classic root beer, so it lands as nostalgic rather than artificial. Expect creamy vanilla and sarsaparilla, smooth and not too sweet, with a clean finish.

Nose
Sarsaparilla and warm vanilla, the smell of a soda fountain.
Palate
Creamy and rounded, gently spiced, never syrupy or candied.
Finish
Clean and smooth. It drinks like a craft vodka, not a liqueur.
