Originally the main flavor came from the root of the sassafras tree which happens to smell just like the drink. Sassafras has been replaced by artificial floors in mist root beer now because its been shown that sassafras may not be good for us to eat. Of course there is going to be some type of sugar and carbonated water. There are many recipes for it but vanilla is a really common flavor that's added to compliment the sassafras flavor.

What gives root beer its distinct flavor?

Root beer is a very good drink, what most people don't know is that root beer is made out of the root of a tree. Ingredients in early root beers included allspice, birch bark, coriander, juniper, ginger, wintergreen, hops, burdock root, dandelion root, spikenard, pipsissewa, guaiacum chips, sarsaparilla, spicewood, wild cherry bark, yellow dock, prickly ash bark, sassafras root, vanilla beans, hops, dog grass, molasses and licorice.
