What is Diet Root Beer?

Diet root beer is a carbonated soda drink with a dark brown color and a flavor that is sweet and tastes like vanilla, caramel and licorice. Originally root beer was made with an herb called sassafras. Today this herb is no longer used and various artificial and natural flavorings are used to recreate the flavor of the sweet and earthy beverage. Diet root beer often contains artificial sweeteners to create a low calorie and/or low sugar product.

What does Diet Root Beer Taste Like?

Sweet

Sweet is one of the five main tastes. It has smooth and round notes in its flavor profile. Sweet is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including fruits, berries, winter squashes, sugarcane, and honey. The sweet taste in these foods is due to a higher sugar content. Sweetness is characteristic of desserts and is used as an accent in savory foods.

Bitter

Bitter is one of the five main tastes. It has a sharp and pungent profile. Bitter is a naturally occurring flavor in many foods, including coffee, chocolate, bitter melon, and chicory. Bitter is used sparingly to accentuate the flavors around it and can be mellowed by other tastes in both savory and sweet dishes.

Ingredients

carbonated water

Carbonated water is water that has had carbon dioxide gas added to it under pressure and then dissolved. This creates the effervescent, or fizzy effect found in sodas. Carbonated water is flavorless, unless flavor is added. It is a refreshing beverage best served cold.

additives

Additives are added to food items in small quantities to improve the flavor, change the texture, enhance appearance, or preserve the item. Additives are both natural and artificial. Natural additives have been used for a long time, while many artificial ones were discovered in the 19th century. There are numerous artificial additives including soy lecithin, guar gum, ascorbic acid and sodium nitrite.

aspartame

Aspartame is a lab made artificial sweetener and used as a sugar replacement because it contains no sucrose. It is white, has no smell and looks similar to sugar with its tiny, white, sand-sized granules. Unlike other artificial sweeteners, aspartame does not have the common bitter or metallic aftertaste. You can use less of this product as it creates the effect of intensifying sweetness.
