About
There are contemporary drinks, throwback drinks, retro drinks, vintage drinks… and then there’s sarsaparilla. Until a few weeks ago, I had only heard sarsaparilla mentioned in cowboy movies. However, at a recent visit to Tilth (Oprah voice: amaaaaazing) I saw it on the menu and had to try it out. It is refreshing, herbal, lightly carbonated and (to my surprise) non-alcoholic. Maria Hines, the lovely and talented chef/owner of Tilth was generous enough to share her recipe, which I’ve adapted below.
