Recommend me a squash/cordial

The only squash I like is vimto. I really want to branch out but can’t find anything else that hits the spot.
I don’t like orange, summer fruits, apple and black current, anything elderflower.
I don’t mind citrus fruit flavours.
What else might I like that I haven’t tried....

Roses lime cordial? Lovely with fizzy water, or still!

MmeSzyszkoBohusz · 21/01/2020 10:56

Have you tried pink grapefruit (Robinsons fruit & barley)?

BarbaraofSeville · 21/01/2020 10:58

I only buy cordials with sugar and no sweeteners in, so ignore the vast majority of what is on the shelves.

You can get blackcurrant no apple high juice in Asda if that's different to Vimto (realises I don't actually know what flavour Vimto is).

Or M&S and Waitrose do a pink grapefruit flavour.

Robinson's fruit & barley - pear. So good

CrowleysBentley · 21/01/2020 11:13

Ribena, Robinson's lemon barley and Rose's lime cordial are the favourites here.

Ribena is very sweet, similar to vimto. Hot ribena is going down well at the moment, as we all have a cold and it's lovely and comforting.

Rainyrain · 21/01/2020 11:48

I always buy the sugar version, the artificial sweeteners have such a bad after taste.

Ribena reminds me of being ill as a child, I was always given warm ribena.

Robinson’s fruit and barley pear sounds good, I’ll give that a try definitely

Belvoir Raspberry & Lemon is full sugar.
We also like their blueberry and BlackBerry as the closest we can find to full sugar ribena, so that might be one to avoid.

MyEnormousTurnip · 21/01/2020 13:26

M&S Raspberry cordial is amazing.

kippersandchips · 21/01/2020 13:43

Orange and pineapple will change your life. Robinson's do one, or asda I believe.

MrsSiriusBlack1 · 21/01/2020 13:46

Robinson’s mango and orange with sparking water, ice cold

stophuggingme · 21/01/2020 13:47

Apple and mango not the sugar free one ( 🤢) from Sainsbury’s is lovely and the sugar blackcurrant one is nice

Think it’s belvoir blackcurrant and blueberry is delicious too

StylishDuck · 21/01/2020 13:49

Robinson's do loads of "grown-up" flavour ones that are really nice. I like the Peach & Raspberry and Strawberry & Kiwi ones. They do Orange & Mango, Apple & Elderflower, one with Cherry in it too.

Twenty2 · 21/01/2020 13:56

Ooh, I highly recommend the Bottlegreen apple and pear. They also do a ginger and lemongrass that I'm going to try next, as well as a raspberry one. Belvoir do a raspberry and lemon, which is nice and not too sweet; you can really taste the lemon. The Belvoir black currant, mentioned by a PP is lovely as well, very like Ribena used to taste before they started using all the shit artificial sweeteners. They all come in glass bottles, too.

Roselilly36 · 21/01/2020 13:57

Waitrose sell Tisserie Passion Fruit, no sweetener, it’s gorgeous, but pricey as it is highly concentrated a little goes a long way. The can type container makes about 5 litres when diluted. The best squash ever IMHO. Don’t touch the sugar free version it’s awful.

Thelnebriati · 21/01/2020 14:02

I used to make juice from Suma pear and apple spread, back when it had a strong pear flavour.

Twenty2 · 21/01/2020 14:04

@Roselilly36 Sainsbury's sells this too. It's currently on offer.

CherryMaple · 21/01/2020 14:09

Robinsons Crushed Lime and Mint. Like a mojito. It is incredibly good....

Recommend me a squash/cordial
Stravapalava · 21/01/2020 14:23

I was just coming to recommend Vimto! Grin

I also like summer fruits squash and Co Op do a gorgeous apple & elderflower one.

Can't beat good old Lemon Barley water, reminds me of being a kid.

Sleepyquest · 21/01/2020 14:26

Ocean spray cranberry and raspberry yum

Imperialmeasurements · 21/01/2020 14:33

Belvoir elderflower is delicious.

HaudMaDug · 21/01/2020 18:38

Belvoir ginger cordial is delish also Robinsons mango and lemon cordial. Sainsburys do a sugar free mango and orange which is cheaper but very sweet.

wonkylegs · 21/01/2020 22:18

Tisserie do loads of amazing flavours but they can be hard to get in the U.K.
I can usually get grenadine or passion fruit in Sainsbury's or Waitrose

I've currently also got Cassis (blackcurrant) peach, raspberry & cranberry, grapefruit, cherry and virgin mojito as we stocked up whilst on holiday in France.

CointreauVersial · 21/01/2020 22:20

Another vote for the Robinsons Lime & Mint. Soooo nice.

FlamingoAndJohn · 21/01/2020 22:24

Another vote for Tisserie.

Pricey but worth it.

FlamingoAndJohn · 21/01/2020 22:24

Oh, and you can get most Tisserie on Ocado.
