Sarsaparilla is also known by the names Shot Bush, Small Spikenard, Wild Licorice, Black Creeper, and Rabbit Root. Sarsaparilla is a tropical American perennial plant. Various species are also found in Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean. It is also found throughout India and in the Himalayas. Sarsaparilla known as "Jamaican Sarsaparilla" is considered the best, with Honduran and Mexican close behind. This plant derived its name from being exported to Europe through Jamaica.
The word Sarsaparilla comes from the Spanish "Sarza", meaning a bramble, and "parilla", a vine, referring to the thorny stems of the plant. Its roots, which are used in herbology, burrow deeply into the ground, while its vines are avid climbers. When Sarsaparilla was first brought from Mexico to Spain in the 1500's, it was exalted as a treatment for venereal diseases such as gonorrhea and syphilis. This caused it to be very popular with pirates and cowboys. Cowboys ordering Sarsaparilla usually requested this drink after visiting brothels.
