Caribbean-style root drink Baldwin’s Sarsaparilla cordial has been given its first range extension since it was launched in 1884.

Baldwin’s claimed the original cordial had a loyal customer base but hoped the new variant - carbonated rather than still - would bring new shoppers to the brand. The carbonated sarsaparilla will be sold in glass 330ml bottles (rsp: 99p).

The launch had been stimulated by popular demand,” said Baldwin’s Steve Dagnell.
