Can anyone recommend a nice cordial?

ChocolateTree

My favourite is Tesco Hi Juice - Pomegranate, Apple and Raspberry. Asda do one too but I don't think it's as nice.

I drink Rocks (the two berries, the blackcurrant, the lime and the apple one are my favourites) and my husband has Sainsbury's hi juice. We both avoid sweeteners (me due to migraine) and I cannot have sulphites due to my Crohn's. The bottle green range is also nice if you can tolerate the sulphur dioxide in it. I have also found the no additive ranges in Tesco and Sainsbury very nice, though slightly more expensive than Rocks. The most expensive seems to be Belvoir, though some very nice flavours. :-)

I don't like artificial sweeteners either and prefer not to feed them to children. I usually buy the ordinary Robinson's orange squash (the regular "with sugar" one has a green cap, the sugar-free one has blue). It goes down well with children, who don't seem to mind that I make it pretty weak! Another which I love, but is sometimes too orangey for kids is Sunquick. I get both from Asda.

Hi, as mentioned earlier in the thread, the robinsons sugar version contains both sugar and sweeteners, god knows why.....This one on asda website contains sugar, saccharin and aspartame!

Hi

I've checked Lidl and Aldi Hi juice and they both contain Aspartame.
Lidl are selling a pack of 10 cartons of Ribena original for 1.99 and that does not conain any artificial sweetners,preservatives or colours (this is a special price and might be store specific) so I bought these and checked the Ribena original that you dilute and although it has preservatives, it is free of artificial sweetners.

I can't tolerate aspartame and sulpher dioxide

That's my favourite, raspberry and lemonade in particular , but I only buy it when it's on offer. Bottle green is on offer at the moment so that's what I bought last although i'm not as keen on their range of flavours , but the elderflower is nice.

Another rock user...well, actually ex rock user. We used to buy it when my daughter was younger. She is now and we get the sainsbury's basics cordials. Cheap and seem to have less 'baddies' in them than a lot of cordials, and no aspartame.

Hi there, just checked my bottle of lidl hi juice and no aspartame in it? Is it the no added sugar variety you mean?

Hi,

To be honest I didn't notice if it was the no added sugar one . I normally shop in Aldi and i picked up a couple of flavours there and they both had aspartame in so next time im in Lidl will double check.

Thanks

I'm sorry Bargain Bunny that I said that Aldi's didn't have aspartame in... I know when I bought it for the 1st time I checked and it didn't ....Just checked mine and the Apple doesn't have it in but the blackcurrant one does, which is labelled as no added sugar. I thought I had checked both before buying them, but is possible I only checked the apple.
