Come on in and listen to ol' Greg jaw a while, and I'll tell you the legend of the star, and also how to make your own Sunset Sarsaparilla from scratch. Experimenting with cocktails? Shop spirits from the show: I'm heading back to the Mojave and deep into the weeds of Fallout New Vegas to make my very own Sunset Sarsaparilla. This episode owes a lot of credit to @GlenAndFriendsCooking, his work on homemade root beer, sarsaparilla and ginger bug were huge influences on this one, so thank you Glen! So diving into this one, I wanted to think about what would make “Sunset Sarsaparilla“ unique and different from simply standard Sarsaparilla. Fallout Lore tells us that Sunset got started in 1919, the same year as A&W Rootbeer, which makes it frankly, old. That's right up there with some of the oldest bottled soft drinks around. Moxie is another very old soft drink, deriving it's primary flavor from gentian, so thinking about the tastes in the market place at the time, maybe Sunset Sarsaparilla has a tinge of gentian in its recipe, so that's what I've done here. With or without my slight modifications, this recipe will yield an absolutely delicious sarsaparilla syrup recipe, which you can then mix with club soda to create a force carbonated soft drink, or you can ferment in bottles to create a naturally fermented beverage that would have been common in the days of the saloon.
