The makers behind Mawson’s Traditional soft drinks have repackaged their sparkling soft drinks and they are now available in cans. The new conveniently packaged soft drink cans represent the latest evolution of Lakeland Artisan by Geoff and Mary Monkman.

Made with only natural ingredients, the line-up consists of eight ready to serve cans, Dandelion & Burdock, Pink Lemonade, Sarsaparilla, Ginger Beer, Elderflower & Rose, Classic Cola, Cream Soda and Fell Tonic Water.

The new drinks are delightfully packaged in 250ml lightweight aluminium cans which chill quickly, are crushable and infinitely recyclable, and have a lesser impact on carbon footprint. Perfect for enjoying at home, at parties, on the fell and ideal for a picnic!

The expansion has been made possible by securing a grant for new canning equipment, thanks to the Made Smarter Initiative, that have a mission to build a digital innovation ecosystem that funds and supports UK innovators and manufacturers.

Geoff Monkman said “cans are the way forward, as a greener option, the aluminium can is made from part recycled metal, and lighter weight so less carbon footprint. This latest investment in machinery for the business means that everything we make in our production unit, is still canned, jarred, or bottled on-site.”

All new products are available now in local shops and for our wholesale customers.

All Lakeland Artisan brands and evolving products, whether from Mawson’s soft drinks, Herdwick Distillery, Cumbrian Delights or Lakeland Liqueurs, are based on a combination of traditional craft, innovative research, responsible sustainability, and strong customer feedback. They are lovingly made by locals on the outskirts of Kendal.
