Ribena replacement

8 replies

AaronCardigan · 09/10/2020 20:38

Hi all,

I'm not feeling very well and I am craving a hot ribena. Of course ribena had its recipe changed a while back. Can anyone suggest a replacement that tastes exactly the same as old ribena?

Oh I love a hot ribena!! It was the ultimate make me feel better remedy! Wish they'd change it back so following with my fingers crossed!
Hope you feel better OP!

Belvoir have a great blueberry & blackcurrant cordial which is the nearest I’ve found in taste. No artificial sweeteners. They have a o pure blackcurrant cordial too but I’ve never found it to taste it. Very expensive but very worth it.

We’re a fan of Belvoir blackcurrant cordial but haven’t tried it hot yet. Get well soon, OP Flowers

Ignore my dodgy grammar skills Blush

Thank you! I'll go looking for the Belvoir black currant cordial. It's the perfect time of year to drink it as well as it being a great pick me up remedy.

Sainsbury’s sells it, or Ocado if you shop there/know someone who does. Not cheap but the pure blackcurrant one is a bigger bottle than the blueberry + blackcurrant one (750ml vs 500ml).

I like Tesco's own blackcurrant cordial. Hate what the sugar free drive has done to our full sugar juices!! Sad
