The best rootbeer ever (in my family's estimation) is Dominion Root Beer, made with honey instead of cane sugar or corn syrup.

A little off topic, but has anyone heard of Dr. Pepper made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup? A friend who lived in TX for a time said that Dr. P originated down there and this is the original recipe. He said that you can still buy it that way down in TX, but nowhere else. Anyone else heard of it?
