    Squash

    I am just guzzling a pint of orange squash - a drink which until recently I heartily disliked. Possibly due to an unfortunate Jim Beam and Orange juice binge in the 70s in Germany...I positively spewed my Partnerschafftsring up!

    The question is which cordial/squash do you prefer. I'll lay it out for all, I am an unreconstructed lime cordial man...I was born for the Raj!

    So pray tell, I am filling jugs with ice and council pop as we speak.

    Re: Squash

    And there was me thinking that you were talking about the game that involves racquets.

    In answer to your question - blackcurrant with either lemonade or soda; or lime cordial with ginger beer (Idris/Old Jamaica for preference) and ice.
    Guinness. It's the first food group.

    Orange and Peach, or Orage and Pineapple. Makes a change from alcoholic or fizzy stuff.

    Lemon barley for me, lots of ice.
    Everybody should believe in something; I believe I'll have another drink.

    Used to love ginger beer with angostura's. Now the lime cordial comes top of the pile.
    The term bugle originates from the French word bugleret, which was derived from the Latin buculus, meaning young bull.

    Re the Lime Cordial and Ginger Beer, if you get bored with it just add Vodka - Moscow Mule, or Bacardi - Havana Mule....

    Blossom Cottage Elderflower Cordial for me although I'm more likely to make lemon or lime from scratch. Chop up the limes or lemons and put in a blitzer, add water, sugar and blitz. Strain and serve over ice, absolutely gorgeous!

    At a wild guess:

    Acid crystals, sugar crystals, salt crystals, flavouring, flavour enhacers (lots of), cocaine (the only reason I can imagine that we all went back for more and enjoyed snorting it).

    Totally wrong

    Remember the yellow cubes they put in the urinals?
