Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock

Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock is a carbonated soft drink based on a traditional British beverage. It is flavored with dandelion and burdock roots, offering a unique, herbal taste profile. The drink is characterized by its complex botanical flavors.

It is produced by Fentimans, a British drinks company founded in 1905, using a botanical brewing process. This involves fermenting a botanical infusion that includes the dandelion and burdock roots. The finished drink contains a small amount of alcohol from this natural fermentation.

The finished drink combines earthy, slightly bitter notes from the burdock and dandelion with a sweet, spiced finish. It is often described as having a taste similar to traditional sarsaparilla or root beer. The botanical brewing process gives it a depth of flavor not found in standard sodas.

Due to the botanical brewing process, the drink contains a very small amount of alcohol, usually under 0.5% ABV. While it is sold as a soft drink, some parents choose to avoid giving it to young children. It is a traditional adult beverage that has been adapted for modern consumption.
