Romans did not know cast iron or root beer, as far as I know. If you're happy with simple iron and simple beer:
Ferrum in aquam demergitur.
Cerevisia in aqua innat. (Cerevisia is late Latin, fermentum or fermentata potio being the more "purist" form)
And about "deliberate preparation nourishes" it is a clear example of how much English owes to Latin:
Deliberata praeparatio nutrit
Or, more classical:
Consilium alit (planning nourishes).
Ferrum in aquam demergitur.
Cerevisia in aqua innat. (Cerevisia is late Latin, fermentum or fermentata potio being the more "purist" form)
And about "deliberate preparation nourishes" it is a clear example of how much English owes to Latin:
Deliberata praeparatio nutrit
Or, more classical:
Consilium alit (planning nourishes).
The pun of "Cast Iron Sinks" (it's both a statement on the buoyancy of the 26th element and a description of washbasins) cannot be reproduced exactly in Latin. However, a crude equivalent might be FERREASERA, which could be read ferrea sera - "iron bar" or fer reas, era - "Bring in the accused women, m'lady".
