Ben Shaws, the traditional Yorkshire sodas

A house dating from 1871

Ben Shaw began making soft drinks in Yorkshire in 1871. The brand has remained true to traditional recipes from the north of England, those formerly known as "pop" and bought by the bottle.

Recipes

• Dandelion and Burdock : the oldest and most British, based on dandelion and burdock, with a taste between licorice and root.
• Cream Soda : sweet and vanilla-flavoured.
• Cloudy Lemonade : a cloudy lemonade.
• Bitter Shandy : tastes like beer and lemonade.
• Summer Berries : with red berries.
