IT is vital to drink enough fluids during the heatwave, but water can be bland.
For a more inviting glass, add a dash of the nation’s favourite, orange squash.

We test seven supermarket alternatives to Robinson’s orange squashCredit: Shutterstock
While the obvious choice may seem to be best-seller Robinsons, does it really come out on top for taste and value?
Our juicy test put the market leader and seven supermarket alternatives through their paces – and you might be surprised by the results.
Here, Laura Stott offers her reviews, with marks out of five.
Robinsons, 1L £1.75 Tesco.com (17.5p per 100ml)
★★☆☆☆
THIS best-selling concentrated fruit squash — for many decades synonymous with Wimbledon — is a thirst quencher.
It’s got a vibrant orange colour that stays vivid even when diluted with water in a glass.

Robinson’s has that unmistakable rich childhood flavourCredit: Damien McFadden
And it has that unmistakable rich childhood flavour.
Despite having one of the lowest fruit concentrates at ten per cent and no added sugar, it is very sweet.
I also found there was a tangy, artificial aftertaste, which I wasn’t that keen on.
Looks great in the glass and the taste is undeniably nostalgic, but alas
I’m not sure this squash is serving for the
match at such a high price point.
M&S High Juice, 1L £1.50, M&S stores (15p per 100ml)
★★★☆☆
WITH 50 per cent orange juice from concentrate, M&S’s squash has one of the largest portions of real fruit, which probably explains the higher price tag — although it is still cheaper than a bottle of the market leader.
The Mediterranean Orange has a more grown-up, authentic flavour and colour than some of the other squashes on the market.

It’s not too sweet, which may not appeal to little ones as much, but adults may prefer this version.
And it does away with sweetener-style aftertastes.
This double concentrate is probably one to sip slowly rather than glug
litres of in a hurry, but it’s tasty.
Asda, 750ml 41p, Asda.com (5.5p per 100ml)
★★★★★
