Dandelion and burdock is a beverage originating and commonly consumed in the British Isles since the Middle Ages.

It was originally a type of light mead but over the years has evolved into the carbonated soft drink commercially available today.

[2] Ben Shaw, a Huddersfield businessman, founded a company that made and sold the drink, first in Yorkshire and then throughout Britain, between 1871 and 1993.

[3] Fentimans, a beverage company based in the United Kingdom, offers a version of the naturally brewed dandelion and burdock drink, containing extracts of both plants[4] (although its main ingredients are sugar and pear juice concentrate).

A.G. Barr, known for its Scottish soft drink Irn-Bru, produces a version of dandelion and burdock under the name D'n'B, with the slogan "Tall, dark and drinksome".
