Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between squash and cordial?
Squash is a concentrated fruit drink typically diluted with water, often sweeter and more colourful, popular in the UK for kids. Cordials are similar but can be more refined, sometimes used undiluted in cocktails or baking. Both are versatile, but check labels for dilution ratios.
Are these syrups suitable for cocktails?
Absolutely, especially Monin syrups like Lime, Mint, and Strawberry—they're bartender favourites for mojitos, daiquiris, and lemon drops. Their precise sweetness balances spirits perfectly without overpowering flavours.
How should I store squash and cordials?
Unopened bottles store in a cool, dark cupboard. Once opened, refrigerate and use within 4-6 weeks for best taste. Always shake before use to mix settled fruit particles.
Are there sugar-free options in this collection?
Yes, we offer a selection of low-sugar and sugar-free squashes and syrups. Filter by dietary needs to find options sweetened with stevia or artificial sweeteners, ideal for diabetics or calorie counters.
Can I use these in cooking or baking?
Definitely—strawberry puree shines in cakes and jams, while lemon syrup adds zest to glazes and dressings. They're concentrated, so start with small amounts to avoid overpowering your recipes.
