Asda High Juice Blackcurrant

I'll admit it, I'm a fussy consumer. I wasn't always. As a student I could get by on tiny amounts of money and flavour wasn't an issue to me; then, I graduated, and I began earning more, and I increased my food budget and taught my taste buds the meaning of quality. Quality, to my taste buds, meant Ribena. Proper, high-quality, juicy, delicious Ribena. Irreplaceable, perfect Ribena. Now, I need car insurance, and an expense like that requires sacrifice, so I apologised to my taste buds today and trundled off to Asda's 'Cordials and Juices' shelf, where I found their range of High Juice drinks. The range contains approximately ten flavours (or, at least, it ...  Read the complete review

Although we drink very little juice I always like to keep a bottle in stock in case of any `little ` visitors. It is a good job that juice has a long sell by date, most of the time a litre bottle will last us a month or more. I also have to consider the flavour carefully, I want one that suits those little people that visit and one that we don't mind having the odd glass of. Neither of us mind a glass of blackcurrant juice and something always tells me that it may be one of the better drink options for children.

It's quite a sweet taste. If you don't like it too sweet you could always dilute it a bit more which seems to affect the sweetness first, before affecting the taste.

I have searched high and low for a slightly more wallet friendly version of Ribena and at last I have finally found it! After being put off by the Tesco equivilant, I wasn't sure about trying this. But the Mrs pointed out that this is 45% juice and the Tesco one is only 35% which is a far cry from Ribena. So I agreed to give this a try for £1.10 (think it's £1.20 now) and I'm really pleased I did. This is really thick and juicey with a good strong blackcurrant taste to it. I don't need to use much to get a good strength juice as this isn't watery or anything. I do love Ribena but it's great that there's a lower priced alternative available ...  Read the complete review
