Britvic Robinsons Fruit Squash

Robinsons Fruit Squash does exactly what it says on the tin (bottle!). It's a strong fruity drink, which the drinker dilutes with water to taste. It comes in a 1 litre bottle, and a variety of flavours. The most popular being Orange, but there are also a number of 'orange mixtures' - orange and mango, orange and pineapple etc, and a blackcurrant variety. My favourite is the orange and mango variety, it has a nice sweet taste, and is very thirst-quenching. The liquid in the bottle has quite a thick syrupy consistency, and is horribly sweet (who can hold their hands up and say they've never taken a little drink straight from the bottle, just to see ...  Read the complete review

Robinsons is a British soft drink company which has been owned by Britvic since 1995. It has a royal warrant by Queen Elizabeth II. They have actually been established since 1823. According to Britvic, Robinsons is the most popular squash brand in the UK, worth £185 million, having sold over 215 million litres in 2005, and represents a large share of the UK soft drinks industry. Squash in our house is drunk like it is going out of fashion (I blame my husband) and one of our favourites is Robinsons Fruit Squash, Orange and pineapple flavour. In my opinion the company offers a high quality product compared to the other squash drink bottles out there. ...  Read the complete review

I don't drink tea or coffee, however as my office is very cold I do tend to get through about 10 hot drinks a day. I've started adding Robinsons juice to hot water to make these, as it comes in significantly cheaper than my usual favourite of Ribena. There is usually an offer on at Morrisons or Tesco for 2 bottles for £2, or 3 for £2.50. It says on the label each bottle makes 20 servings, however I would find this extremely strong and tend to get nearer to 30 servings from a bottle. The main point that attracted me to buy Robinsons rather than unbranded is that is contains no artificial flavourings or colourings. Now, having left a bottle on its side for 2 ...  Read the complete review

What is it? ******** A concentrated fruit juice drink How do I drink it? ************** As it is acutely concentrated, it needs to be diluted. The extent of dilution will vary with individual tastes but generally, I dilute 1 part of concentrated juice with three parts of water - ¼ mug of juice with ¾ of water. How does it taste? *************** Although I generally dilute ¼ juice with ¾ water, it still doesn't taste quite right for me - though any other proportion it ends up either too sweet or too bland. I have put this purely down to its general taste. The one I have at home now is the 'apple and ...  Read the complete review

This review relates specifically to the standard 'Apple & Blackcurrant' flavour of Robinsons squash, which I purchased the other day after Tesco's were sold out of my regular 'High Juice'. Costing £1.07 for the one litre bottle, the drink is described as a "concentrated apple and blackcurrant soft drink with sugars and sweeteners". Let's take a closer look at the ingredients to see what's actually in the squash; Water, Fruit Juices from Concentrate (Apple 8%, Blackcurrant 2%), Sugar, Citric Acid, Natural Coulour (Anthocyanins), Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Metabisulphite), Acidity Regular (Sodium Citrate), Sweeteners ...  Read the complete review
