Art In The Age Root Organic Liqueur is an organic spirit made with Birch bark, wintergreen, sassafras, sarsaparilla and other organic herbs that grew wild in Pennsylvania in colonial times, it was originally conceived, as is so often the case, as an herbal remedy. Known in the 1700s as “root tea,” the recipe was introduced to settlers by Native Americans. Prohibition stamped out the alcohol and gave rise to root beer, but Art in the Age has made Root in attempt to bring the original tincture back to modern palates.
