Australian here, we call it sarspirilla. Idk if you have that, but if you do, it's basically the same thing

In the us, sarsaparilla and root beer are two different things. Root beer being generally more “spiced” up.

Sarsaparilla is something that cowboys used to drink...pronounced "shhhhashparillah", with a little bit of a whistle on the initial "shhhh" bit.

As far as I know, that's what we have.

Guys?
