Orange Squash

Just curious what everyone else does here... at home we drink a lot of “no added sugar” orange / black currant etc squash, on previous trips to Florida we have been unable to find a US substitute in the supermarkets.

We usually end up watering down orange juice but would welcome any suggestions on where we can buy squash

We took loads of the Robinsons super concentrated juicers. Easy to carry them around with us to add to the free iced water in the parks. You can also buy them in Walmart but probably more expensive.

We always take a few bottle of the robinson concentrated squash for in the villa and making drinks to take out. We also take some of the small squeezy super concentrated for out and about.
We wrap some gaffer tape around the lid of each bottle, wrap in bubble wrap and pop in a couple plastic bags. Never had an issue yet, fingers crossed.

You can find it in the British grocery aisle at Walmart Publix Whinne Dixie but it's around $4:90 for a small bottle
You can by what they call water enhancers in little bottles like the squashed concentrate crystal lite and MIO being just 2 of the brands

Those super concentrated juices are really hard to get hold of now! Very few places seem to sell them and if they do, they are very expensive! I was trying to find some for dd to taje skiing last yr and went to about 4 different supermarkets before finding a limited range!

I have noticed too that they aren’t as easy to get hold of now. If you aren’t too bothered about brands I have seen them in Homebargains and even Poundland.

Crystal Lite (or the supermarket own brand) is a good substitute. They are sachets of powder which can be mixed with water. There are loads of flavours. I got some at Winn Dixie, Target, Walmart and Publix. They also do the concentrated mini bottles too - you'll find them all in the same area.

We always take a couple of big bottles in the suitcase for the villa - we get through loads as a family - it’s expensive if you buy over there.
