You may be thinking of sarsaparilla, it was a very early flavor of carbonated beverage. It is an actual flavor made with herbs, similar to root beer, but it became synonymous with 'soda' because, at the time, it was often the only soda available. The soda brand name Moxie was often used to as a generic word for soda for a short time also. When I was growing up, Coke was often used the same way, that is until the 'cola wars', when Pepsi fought to become well known.
