Squash or cordial is a highly-sweetened (and often fruit-based) concentrate, which is mixed with a liquid, most commonly water, before drinking. It is also the name of the resulting drink.
Squashes and cordials are common in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavia, South Africa, Kenya, Australia and New Zealand, and have a large market share in competition with fruit juices and soft drinks.
Typically, squash is created by mixing one part concentrate with four or five parts water (depending on concentration and personal taste) directly into a glass or mug or into a jug. The most common flavours are orange, apple and blackcurrant, lemon, peppermint, mixed fruit, summer fruits, and lemon-lime. Other flavours include peach, strawberry, and kiwi fruit.
Common manufacturers of squash include Britvic under the Robinsons and MiWadi brands, Nichols (under the Vimto brand), GlaxoSmithKline (under the Ribena brand), Coca-Cola (under the Kia-Ora brand) and supermarkets' own brands. Prominent Australian brands include Cottees, P&N Beverages and Golden Circle cordials.
