  • Cheaper and easier to carry than fizzy drinks. Make up at home, add ice for starters.

    No artificial sweeteners for preference.

    This for example could be good.

  • Nice idea for a thread. Always had a soft spot for Robinson's Orange Barley Water (definitely not Fruit and Barley - mostly too sweet!). I like the lemon, but it makes me wheeze for some unknown reason (?).

    Got a taste for Clayton's Kola Tonic too. But it's a bit more of a drink at home in the garden as an alternative to a beer when I've got to drive though.

  • Clayton's Kola Tonic

    Nice tip, thanks!

    I like the sound of an Admiral Nelson.

  • Out of season, but Ribena Winter Spice is a mulled version.
    Nice with hot water after a cold commute.

  • I hear you on the wheezing from Robinson's lemon, I used to have the same problem (must see if I still do).

    Ribenna has really gone downhill since they cut their sugar content. The regular grade tastes identical to the previous sugar free version (i.e.: dreadful)

    I tries this stuff a few weeks ago and can report that it was 10/10 tasty

  • Post Sugar Tax Ribena is hideous

  • Bottle Green Cordials are popular in our house. We bought a soda stream to make fizzy water.

    I also dilute OTP soft drinks with fizzy water as I find them too sugary and cloying, but can't abide artificial sweetener.

    Half strength ginger beer or coca-cola work well for me.

    Ordered. Thanks.

    I also got a load of other AF stuff from drydrinker.com. The website is rubbish, the pricing is outrageous, but it beats boozing. For me.

  • Hopefully it isn't too sweet, which is what stops me drinking more squash.

  • I'm a wheezer. I enjoy it.

  • vimto close thread delete your accounts

  • don't go all mince pie

  • i would never betray the scene

  • this ones for my soljas on lockdown

  • Big fan of the Robinsons Squash'd range, the orange in particular - great with fridge cold water, and very refreshing when added to sparkling water...

  • Waitrose Apple & Mango High Juice has been fuelling my painting in this heat

  • is Rocks Cordial still available? That was good

  • Vimto.

  • Bought some Rocks just now. Got the Orange flavour and its really good. The blackcurrent Belvoir was my 2nd choice.

  • The Squash/dilutey juice market is barren in Canada. Stuff here is mainly powered like Kool Aid or "water enhancers" like MIO. They all pale in comparison with a good bottle of Robinsons and taste so bad I just drink water. It makes me less depressed when I hear that Ribena isn't what it used to be.

  • In an attempt to avoid giving her campus Starbucks all of her cash in this heat the OH bought a big bottle of peach iced tea flavour concentrate online; it's pretty nice, and only needs a tiny splash to make up a glass. Think it was about £7 for a bottle, but she's only used about half in a month or so. Distributed by the Italian Beverage Company IIRC.

  • where you scoring Rocks?

  • Waitrose

  • ta! Tesco no longer sell it

  • I've had 4 pints of the Rocks squash (cleaning out shed). Can confirm it's good stuff.
