Dilutinjuice is one word btw - bronze medal in the drinks-to-offer-weans category. 

My go-to dilutinjuice is Sainsbury’s pink grapefruit one.

 Fruit juice takes the silver medal - too expensive to be giving weans free access to it.

 Fizzy juice takes the gold obvs. Vimto from the world food supermarket is the real deal - in your face, sugar tax!

 Cordial lurks alongside the only-at-Christmas/brought-back-from-Greece dusty bottles of dubious alcohol.

Just call it juice here.

We confused some new friends one time when we invited them round for tea.  They were expecting a cuppy and some cake, and were a bit taken back that we'd made a big pot of chilli.

if you want a proper "cordial" then Belvoir Farms ginger cordial is the one for you - available from Waitrose don't you know...

This. And often on sale at Sainsbury's.

When I was a lad I thought it odd that the squash bottle said "dilute to taste", when you could taste it anyway?

Robinsons double strength for me, definitely ticks the childhood Robinsons Special R box ie tastes sort of a bit like an orange but also quite a lot like some sort of industrial waste.

We just called it juice.

Aldi 50% fruit orange squash is excellent. Not just for boring old still water but great with the Sodastream too!

No help to you but.....

 

Do you remember Kellogg's orange Rise and Shine powder. Not sure it had much to do with actual oranges but by god it packed a chemically induced taste and sugar punch. It'd melt through armour plating I suspect.

 

I mourn its passing as I used to take it camping

Diluting juice for me. (and if it was fizzy stuff my Gran called it ginger?)

 

Ginger on the west coast, just "juice" for fizzy pop in Edinburgh

 

So round here diluting juice for cordial, Juice for fizzy pop, fruit juice if its actually fruit juice
