850ml - 3 Pack by Ribena

I don't know how many of you wonder what this goes with, but make some regular tea, add some Bermuda Stone Ginger Beer and some pineapple juice, and you have a very nice refreshing drink!

Delicious

Of course being from the UK I grew up on this. It is a concentrated drink that you add water to. It is an acquired taste I think for Americans as it is made from black currants and apparently we don’t have them in the USA as they carry a fungus that kills pine trees. That being said it is a very tart drink but I love it. It is also a drink served in British pubs. If you ask for a larger and black it is this drink that they add to a larger. Get some and see what you think.

Great.

Very sweet. I diluted with water in a 4:1 ratio. Flavor is good.

The Blackcurrant plant vanished from America due to fungus it could carry- which could destroy Spruce trees, roughly a Century ago. Spruce Wood was the Primary Material for the Construction of Airplanes, until Aluminum largely replaced it in the 1930s (the Hughes H-4 aircraft was called "The Spruce Goose" for a reason!). Ever since, it's a Delicacy from the Old World. Seeing as Spruce isn't necessary for Aircraft, and with better understandings of Fungus, Agriculture and Forestry today, it should be more than possible for Blackcurrant to return to America and be cultivated again. On the Ribena 3-Pack, a Great Value, and a Great Alternative to regular sodas, if mixed with plain Talking Rain soda water!

It,s Ribena what more can I say apart from: Good cold on a hot day, great hot on a cold day.

Like others have mentioned, this might not be for the "average" American palate, but I fell in love with this syrup, reminds me of fruit syrups from my childhood, raspberry and peach, tart cherry. It slightly tart, not near as sweet as American Soda pop, when mixed as recommended. I use seltzer mainly, 25% ribena to 75% seltzer, served over crushed ice cubes. Yummy. Great non alcoholic drink that goes great with savories, bacon butties, fish n chips, etc etc. At 10 dollars per bottle, not cheap, but it's like a more pricey 6pack of premium soda, and much tastier.
