It sounds strange, but is tasty."

I've been told that diluted hard apple vinegar was commonly served to guests in the southern US in the not too distant past. It was served warmed when the weather was cold and cooled by keeping it in a springhouse or well for serving in hot weather.
Seems like I read that a Philadelphia pharmacist, Hires, bottled the first commercial soda pop in the form of Hires Root Beer around 1900.
