Do Americans drink orange squash? If so, what's it called and where do we buy?

You need to ask for Cordial or Dilute Cordial.

We also had the same problem with our son. He is autistic and will only drink Summer Fruits High Juice squash. We took about 6 bottles in our suitcase, no problem. However when it ran out (and he drinls alot of the stuff) I searched high and low for any squash type drink. I must have been to every supermarket in Orlando. Goodings at Crossroads and Winn-Dixie on Vineland had Ribena and a selection of Robinsons squashes. I think the Robinsons were about $3-4 and the Ribena was more. Unfortunately for us they were all the low-cal ones that contain aspartame, and that has him climbing the walls. In the end I found some strawberry juice mix drink, in the cooler cabinet at Walmart (sorry, can't remember what it was called). It was just fruit juices mixed together, so I added water half and half and he deigned to drink it! Next time, unless he's drinking water, I'll take more from home!

When we went to California when DS was 4, we found Capri Sun was an acceptable alternative for him. This was the first time I'd ever seen these pouches. I also thought the Gatorade was yuck but personally freshly sqeezed orange or real lemonade would win everytime.

Ours kids love Hawaian Punch it comes in several flavours, the orange is very similar to Kia Ora. It comes ready to drink but its quite sweet so you could dilute it. Robinsons fruit juices available in most Publix supermarkets.

Publix across from the Premium Outlet Mall had various squashes for sale-sorry didn't look at the prices.
They were in the ethnic aisle.

Minute Maid is ok, It's not fizzy and you can get it in lemon and orange.

We had a problem 2 years ago as middle child does not drink anything fizzy and won't drink fresh orange.
Found that publix now stock robinsons diluting juice and it worked out at about £2 a bottle .
didn't like any of the american still drinks even the capri sun ones were disgusting.
What worked for us was to freeze the lemonade you buy by the gallon in water bottles and also the water bottles. She quite happily drunk those.
Going in five weeks but won't worry this time as I know we will get it ( at a price).
