For some extremely peculiar reason, there is no root beer available where I live, but there is McCormick's root beer concentrate. I scoured the world to find a recipe and here it is. It's not exactly A&W, but as close as you can get to the real thing, if you can't get the real thing.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup hot water
1 quart cold seltzer water
1/2 teaspoon root beer concentrate (mccormick is what i use)
1/8 teaspoon root beer concentrate (yes, more of this stuff)
Directions:
1. Dissolve the sugar in the hot water.
2. Add the 1/2 and the 1/8 teaspoon of root beer concentrate and let it cool.
3. Combine the cold root beer mixture with the seltzer water.
4. Pour into a glass, make a pretend mug handle with your thumb and pinky, and drink.
