For squash mixed at home after school, consider a larger bottle or a pack of bottles; a 66ml mini concentrate is an option away from home only when water is available for dilution. Neither is a ready-to-drink can. If cans are essential, confirm that the exact product is squash sold in a multipack of cans, then check its serving instructions and ingredients.
A larger bottle or a pack of bottles suits a routine where there is water, a glass or jug, and time to follow the product’s dilution directions. Check the stated servings and ingredients for the particular squash you choose.
A small concentrate takes a different approach from a ready-to-drink can: it still needs water. Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose list 66ml Robinsons Mini concentrates, so check the preparation directions before putting one in a bag.
Compare the exact product label rather than treating every flavour in a range alike. A no-added-sugar description does not replace a check of sweeteners, allergens and any dietary warnings on the current pack.
Start with the drink format you can actually prepare, then compare labels on the basis of the diluted drink rather than the concentrate alone.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Pack format | Check whether the pack contains cans, larger bottles or small concentrates. Confirm whether each drink is ready to serve or requires water. | If I need cans that can be opened and served, a bottle multipack or mini concentrate will not meet that requirement. |
| Dilution | Follow the named product’s directions. Sainsbury’s lists one part concentrate to four parts water for Robinsons 2L Orange; Waitrose suggests one part squash to nine parts water for Essential Orange. | For drinks made at home, I want to be able to measure the squash and water using the instructions on the bottle I buy. |
| Sugar and serving information | Check the exact no-added-sugar claim, ingredients and nutrition on the label. Compare nutrition using each product’s stated diluted serving. | I want to know what is in the prepared drink, rather than assuming a no-added-sugar label makes different squashes interchangeable. |
| Ingredients | Read the current pack for sweeteners, allergens and dietary warnings, particularly when buying a different flavour or a newly packaged bottle. | Where an ingredient matters to my household, I need the label on the pack being served, not just a previous online description. |
A 66ml squash concentrate is not a ready-to-drink serving; it needs water before it can be prepared as directed.
Decide whether the drink must be ready to serve. If you choose a mini concentrate for a trip or activity, make sure water will be available and follow its label.
The reviewed Robinsons and Waitrose bottle directions differ, so the same measure of concentrate does not follow both products’ instructions.
Read the ratio on the bottle in hand. When comparing stated servings or nutrition, use that product’s preparation directions.
A previous listing may not describe the pack you are about to serve, which matters when an ingredient or allergen needs checking.
Read the physical pack each time an allergy, intolerance or ingredient restriction affects the choice.

Six bottles provide concentrated squash for drinks mixed at home, rather than canned servings. The product description states 2 kcal per 100ml diluted and lists sweeteners and sulphites; it also identifies a source of phenylalanine. Follow the dilution and ingredient guidance on the current pack.

This single bottle is for drinks prepared with water, not a can or multipack. Its description instructs one part concentrate to at least four parts water and lists sweeteners and sodium bisulphite. It also says the product is not recommended for children under 3 due to sweeteners; check the current pack for ingredient and age guidance.
No. The 66ml Robinsons Mini products listed by Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose are concentrates. They need water and should be prepared according to the directions on the chosen pack.
Use the direction for the bottle you are serving. Sainsbury’s lists one part concentrate to four parts water for Robinsons 2L Orange No Added Sugar, while Waitrose suggests one part squash to nine parts water for Essential No Added Sugar Orange.
No. Check the exact product’s ingredients for sweeteners and any relevant allergen or dietary warnings. Read the current physical pack when those details affect your choice.
Check the exact product listing for both details: that the drink is squash and that the pack contains cans. A pack of squash bottles or a portable concentrate does not meet a requirement for cans.
