Can anyone recommend an equivalent to the very tasty melon flavoured AquaLibra?

I think there’s a drink called Purdey’s which is similar-ish. I loved Aqua Libre too.

@redannie18 it's not quite the same, it used to come in either a single serving bottle or a larger one.
@Babadookinthewardrobe love purdeys as well, do you know if they do larger bottles or just the single ones?
Basically. It's NYE and I'm thinking of lovely non alc drinks for January!
Thank you both.

I really liked the 90s Aqua Libra!!

And unfortunately have never found an equivalent

Oh I loved aqua libre. (But not helpful. Sorry )

I loved it as well! I like Purdy's but it's not the same.

So annoying that they stopped making it. There are at least 5 of us here who love it, what more
do they want?!

Someone I worked with in the 90s gave me some ..loved it.

I still dream about it. Got through bottles and bottles when I discovered it in 1989. Yet to find something similar 😔

I loved it too and was so excited when it reappeared but the modern version is a shadow of the old one. So placemarking in hope.

Ah memories of being pregnant, fed up of orange juice and lemonade. We thought we were ever so sophisticated and chic drinking it.

I know this is so random,but the Cuticura hand sanitizer in crisp and fresh, smells exactly the same as Aqua Libra tasted. Please don't think I'm bonkers 😂 but it really does 😮

Nooo! When I moved office a couple of years ago the previous occupant left a pump of Cuticura hand gel behind and it smelled so unpleasant I had to throw it away. Maybe they do different ones! I will have a sniff next time I see some in a shop.

Could have been out of date?

Possibly, but then a year or so later I wanted to buy some in a pump and the only one in the shop was Cuticura so I had a cautious sniff - and put it back on the shelf. I will try again next time I see it. Maybe it was because it was so strongly fragranced, I prefer anything that isn’t actually fragrance to be unfragranced (laundry powders etc).
