Baldwins sarsaparilla is a sweet soft drink, traditionally made from Smilax plants. Sarsaparilla is similar in flavour to root beer, with a refreshing finish. Baldwins has been producing this cordial since 1844 when it was originally served in pie and mash shops in London’s East End. To enjoy Baldwins sarsaparilla, dilute one part cordial with four parts water. Top up with extra water if you like a less sweet drink.
