Nice blackcurrant squash without sweeteners

17 replies

Can anyone recommend a decent blackcurrant squash/cordial that doesn't contain sweeteners please? I last had one that I bought in Waitrose (Pixley I think) but it wasn't very nice and they seem to have stopped stocking it in my local one anyway. I would prefer plain blackcurrant but am not completely averse to blackcurrant and apple. Don't mind if it's branded or supermarket's own. I can get to most of the well known supermarkets easily. TIA.

I like the Belvoir cordial. Not sure if they do blackcurrant but that's where I'd start if they do

Rocks! I love the lemon one but haven’t tried the blackcurrant.

Rocks. We love the orange the most

Rocks, is less sweet than some of the others.

Pixley Berries is the best you’ll ever try. Trust me on this!

We were looking for this and ended up stocking up on blackcurrant cassis when we were in France. It tastes like the old Ribena. Delicious.

Do m&s still do it with sugar?
They used to have a dual range. It and the mango one were very nice.
I'd forgotten about it until your post as im so used to plain water now because of bloody sweetners

M & s do an orange hi juice one that's no sweeteners but not seen a blackcurrant version.

Asda used to do a with sugar not sweetener range alongside the sweetener versions but I’ve not been in for a while to confirm still the case

There's an M&S blackcurrant one on Ocado. Haven't tried it because I like Rocks.
Mr Fitzpatrick do a Blackcurrant and Liquorice one which is lovely. Just like the sweets.

I miss Ribena. The old recipe. I rarely drink squash but a hot ribena was just perfect and now it’s vile.

Thank you all, sounds as though there are a few to try. I did have a really nice blackcurrant and soda in a restaurant a while ago made with Monin blackcurrant syrup but it's rather expensive.

For those mentioning M&S I just had a look on their website and they do a blackcurrant cordial without sweeteners for £3.20 which isn't bad.
