una fiesta con refrescos y helados
Tal vez no hace falta decir que en la fiesta sirven helado dentro de la copa de bebida gaseosa - el "root beer".

: It's untranslatable since root beer doesn't exist in most Spanish-speaking countries. This seems a good workaround for this context.

: The school may be making a point of protesting against the ubiquitous Coca Cola. Many schools are these days. // No assumption necessary if we just translate what is there, rather than genericizing it.

Possibly, but we have no reason to make that assumption about this translation.

: It depends what the target country is. Also, much modern root beer is not derived from sarsaparilla.
