Root beer is a non-alcoholic carbonated beverage, or soft drink, made from vanilla, molasses, and other ingredients. It originated from Earth in the 19th century, and was available across the Federation. On Deep Space 9, root beer was served at Quark's Bar, and became a favored drink of Nog after he was accepted at Starfleet Academy.
Quark and Elim Garak both despised the "vile" beverage, considering it a metaphor for the "insidious" pervasiveness of the Federation. Quark once remarked to Garak that root beer was "so bubbly, and cloying, and happy," "just like the Federation." He also noted that if "you drink enough of it, you begin to like it" -- just like the Federation. Quark thought that Nog's acquired taste for root beer heralded the "end of Ferengi civilization."
