Instant drinks

Horlicks, the malty evening drink

It's a milk and barley malt powder with a mild, slightly biscuity taste. The British drink Horlicks hot, often in the evening before bed, much like they would drink hot milk with honey in France. Two or three spoonfuls in a cup of hot milk are enough.

Milkshakes and hot chocolates

  • Nesquik milkshakes in the British version, strawberry or banana flavour, are mixed in cold milk: they are a snack for English schoolchildren.
  • For hot chocolate drinks, there's Cadbury, Galaxy, Maltesers, and Cocoba . The entire range is available in the hot chocolate section.

Drinks that sparkle

Enchanted Drinks glitter powders are edible sequins to sprinkle on a drink. Available in red, frosted white, or rose gold, they add a swirling effect to soda, lemonade, or mocktails. They're the perfect idea for a birthday or Halloween party.

For cold drinks, see Sodas . For tea, see Teas .

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Which English tea should I choose?

For everyday tea, the British often choose a strong black tea like Yorkshire Tea or PG tips , perfect with a splash of milk. Twinings and Taylors of Harrogate also offer more aromatic teas, such as Earl Grey with bergamot or fruit infusions.

How to prepare a proper English tea?

Pour freshly boiled water over your black tea bag, let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, remove the bag, then add a splash of milk and a little sugar if you like. Should you add the milk before or after the tea? The debate has divided the UK for generations.

What is Irn-Bru ?

It's Scotland's iconic soda, bright orange in color, with a unique and difficult-to-describe fruity taste. Created in 1901, it's often called "Scotland's other national drink," after whisky.

What is ginger beer?

It's a sparkling, non-alcoholic ginger drink, more intense and spicier than ginger ale. Old Jamaica offers several versions, from the mildest to the "Extra Fiery." It's best enjoyed ice cold, or in cocktails.

What is the dandelion & burdock?

It's a traditional British drink, made from dandelion and burdock, with a sweet and slightly aniseed taste, similar to root beer. Ben Shaw's continues the recipe, alongside other classics like cream soda and cloudy lemonade.

What is Horlicks ?

What does anti-waste mean at Candy Dukes ?

At Candy Dukes , nothing goes to waste. Products nearing or past their best-before date are offered at reduced prices, up to 80% off. You get a great deal, and a perfectly good product doesn't end up in the bin. A small step for the planet, and a big treat for those with a sweet tooth.

What is the difference between a DDM and a DLC?

The "use by" date applies to fresh products, such as meat or dairy: once this date has passed, they should no longer be consumed. The "best before" date applies to grocery products: sweets, biscuits, teas, canned goods, sauces, etc. After this date, the product remains safe to eat. Only its quality may change slightly. To reduce food waste, we only offer products with a "best before" date, never with a "use by" date.
