You can substitute sarsaparilla for the sassfrass and you could compensate with more of the sarsaparilla to make up for not adding birch bark or add just a touch of wintergreen.
With all of my recipes, I recommend you play around with them and make them your own.

Is birch bark necessary are there any substitutes?

Opening the bottle will not release all of the carbonation from the Root Beer. We do this to release some of the carbonation so that it doesn’t build up too much inside of the bottle.
