Old Favorites

There is nothing better to satiate your thirst on a hot summer night than a nice cold root beer. I can almost see the tall glass full of the dark brown liquid with beads of evaporating water cascading down the glass leaving a ring where the cup previously sat. What's even tastier than that icy beverage is a scrumptious piece of root beer licorice. That subtle caramel taste and the spicy flavor that accompanies it is a combination that is both tantalizing and addicting all at the same time.

 

When you first see authentic root beer licorice, you are stuck by its delicate shade of brown-- almost pale enough to mimic the color of light brown sugar. Another picture it conjures up is that of the foamy head that you will find on all well made root beer. The smell will leave you mesmerized and hypnotized by the delicate aroma of your favorite drink. Now that your eyes and nose are sufficiently quenched, let's take a bite and see if this confection tastes as good as it looks and smells.

 

The first thing you notice as you bite into a superbly made piece of root beer licorice is that it is soft and chewy-- just how licorice ought to be. Most of the garden variety licorice that you have encountered in most grocery stores is as tough as leather and tastes about the same as well. As you chew this gourmet delight, you cannot detect any chemically induced flavor, just a good old fashioned root beer taste. The enticing caramel flavor mixed in with a hint of vanilla and spices brings you back to your very first root beer. You remember it being yummy and very satisfying. Funny how a piece of candy can parody that same feeling.

 

So if you're ever in the market for a tasty remake of an old fashioned favorite, just reach for a bag of gourmet root beer licorice, and savor the taste along with the memories.
