Ben Shaws D&B - 330ml

Dandelion and burdock sits in that old-fashioned corner of British pop alongside cream soda and shandy, the drinks your nan kept in the pantry. It has deep roots in the north of England, and Ben Shaws is the name most people picture on the label.

Outside Britain it barely exists, which is why people type the name into a search bar at odd hours. Usually right after somebody at work has asked what they miss most and they have said it out loud for the first time in years.

This is a single 330ml serving, the right amount for one person with a plate in front of them. It keeps happily in the cupboard until you want it, but it belongs in the fridge for a good while before you open it. Warm dandelion and burdock is nobody's idea of a good time.

It is at its best next to a chippy tea, a pork pie or a proper bag of crisps. Most people who order one end up adding a few more British bits to the basket, and nobody has ever regretted that.
