Robinsons Grapefruit Squash - 1L

Squash is one of those things nobody in Britain thinks about until it runs out. Every kitchen has a bottle of concentrate by the kettle, topped up at the tap all day long, and Robinsons is the name on a good many of them. Grapefruit sits at the grown-up end of the shelf.

Once you have moved away, it is the small daily habits you miss, and a glass of squash you have mixed yourself, as strong or as weak as you like, is very much one of them. Grapefruit in particular is the flavour people go looking for by name.

This is a one-litre bottle of concentrate, so it goes a long way before it runs dry. Keep it in the cupboard, follow the label once it is open, and dilute to taste: a jug for the table, a splash in a water bottle, or frozen into ice cubes if you are feeling fancy.

Robinsons makes a whole family of squashes beyond this one, including orange and its famous lemon barley water, so plenty of people keep two bottles on the go: one for themselves, and one they are prepared to share.
