Can anyone recommend a nice cordial?

squeakysue

I drink mainly water but occasionally like a bit of cordial and my son likes juice too. I refuse to buy no added sugar varieties but the varieties that had sugar seem to have disappeared from the shelves leaving hi juice as the only option really.

I normally buy from tesco or asda but got a nice bottle of orange high juice from lidl for £1.09 for 1 litre which tastes very nice but still quite pricey and Lidl is not really local to me anyway.

I used to love robinsons squash as a child, why did they have to start adding all the nasty sweeteners to it, surely it's our choice if we want sugar! After giving up a diet coke addiction I cannot stand the taste of anything with artificial sweeteners in yuck!

TIA

Ok just looked online and seen regular robinsons varieties on tesco, they never seem to be on the shelves though??

I've seen the ordinary Robinsons squash in Tesco & Sainsbury.

Rock's organic cordial doesn't have any artificial sweetners (I particularly like the Christmas one) but it is more expensive - I think about £3.50 for 1/3 litre & blackcurrant seems to be the one most readily available.

Waitrose's elderflower cordial is £2.30 for 500ml - really refreshing made up with sparkling water.

i just bought and am loving asda high juice - pomegranete and grape - really refreshing and quite nice for a change

We use Rocks organic. My 4 year drinks water and milk a lot now but before was obsessed with pure apple juice. I had to stop the habit quickly so now she is allowed Rocks juice and I can normally find all flavours, her favourite is the red berry one. Hated the orange flavour as a kid, tastes like Minadex syrup I have very vivid childhood memories of the stuff! It is more expensive but a bottle lasts 4 weeks plus in our house and I normally try to buy on special offer, occasionally you see BOGOF or half price.

I buy Rocks too, haven't seen the red berry in shops anymore though, only orange or blackcurrant. I noticed Tesco's and Sainsbury's squash has aspartame in so trying to avoid them now.

Hi, I love ocean spray cranberry & raspberry, really good for you and not too sweet!

half and half (juice and water?) a 1L carton of smart price OJ is 65p/L...
we buy the high juice ones but check on mysupermarket.com to see when price drops or on offer and buy in bulk then.
I drink the blackcurrant one. I am allergic/intolerant to aspartame and mi kidz do weird things when they have artificial sweetners.
FYI - you have to go to the really big EXTRA tescos to get the high juice with sugar as the large tesco and tesco express only hold the 'poisonous ones'.

Rock's lime squash from Ocado (they do a lime cordial too). Very concentrated so don't need to use much.

I mainly drink water but if very tired I like the odd squash.

Also recently had Elderflower bubbly from Riverford, very nice for a treat.

Try Ribena original.:)

Don't know if this helps you, but all Sainsburys drinks are free from aspartame :j. I buy the Sainsburys basics dilute orange pop which is something like 80p.

We have Rocks or Sainsbury's hi-juice. Also sometimes fresh orange or apple juice made up half and half with sparkling mineral water, the kids love this and don't feel like they are missing out by not being allowed the usual fizzy drinks.
