Mosstrooper

• 1/2 cup Ice
• 1 glass Root beer
• 1 dash 7-Up

Start with half a glass of ice. Fill almost full with root beer and add a little 7-Up. Just stir with a straw or other convenient item. Drink before the ice melts, otherwise it tastes bitter.

I invented this mix to capture the spirit of the mosstroopers, undisciplined 17th century Scottish reivers. Lemonade or just plain lemon juice can be substituted for 7-up.
