British Robinsons in Canada

Some households measure the week in bottles of squash. If you grew up with a jug of Robinsons on the kitchen table, topped up from the tap and poured a bit stronger than anyone strictly recommended, this collection should feel like home. It brings together the Robinsons bottles people actually miss: Orange Squash, Lemon Squash, Apple & Blackcurrant and Summer Fruit in 1L bottles, Orange Barley Water and Lemon Barley Water in 850ml bottles, and Fruit Shoot 4 packs in Apple Blackcurrant, Summer Fruits and Orange. Whether you are restocking a fridge in Halifax, adding a bottle to a Toronto order, or sending a proper drink to someone in Vancouver who keeps complaining about it, the range is all in one place, shipped from Canada by The Great British Shop.

Squash, the British way of doing a cold drink

For anyone meeting it for the first time, squash is a concentrated drink you dilute with water to suit your own taste, so a single bottle goes a lot further than it looks. Robinsons Orange Squash and Lemon Squash are the straightforward classics, the ones that turn up at birthday parties, sports days and Sunday lunches. Apple & Blackcurrant and Summer Fruit bring the darker, fruitier side of the shelf, and they tend to divide a household into firm camps. Mix it weak for the kids, strong for yourself, or try it with sparkling water if you want to feel a little more organised about the whole thing.

Barley water and Fruit Shoots for the rest of the family

Robinsons Barley Water sits at the more traditional end of the range. The Orange and Lemon versions have a softer, rounder taste than standard squash, and plenty of people who drink it would not swap it for anything else. Fruit Shoots are the opposite job entirely: ready-to-drink bottles in 4 packs, made for lunchboxes, car journeys, school bags and the moment someone announces they are thirsty five minutes after leaving the house. Apple Blackcurrant, Summer Fruits and Orange cover the flavours most families argue over.

Robinsons squash shipped across Canada

We ship across the country, so orders head out to Ottawa and Montréal, Calgary and Edmonton, Winnipeg, Kitchener, Victoria, Moncton, Saint John, Dartmouth and St. John’s without you having to search every international aisle in town for one particular bottle. Robinsons also sits nicely alongside a bigger British order, so it is easy to add a squash or two while you are picking up biscuits, crisps, chocolate and tea. Worth keeping a bottle in the cupboard, because running out of squash is one of those small things that feels much bigger than it should.
