Not really anything in the main supermarkets, but sometimes the little corner shops sell Robinsons. The market shop opp Cafe Pazaar had it last year. There is a shop which sells brooms and cleaning stuff next to Aydin Pide, they sell lime cordial.

Bernie, I used to make this myself as my daughter was very allergic to some E numbers. I remember that a lot of citric acid was involved along with copious amounts of sugar, but it really was delicious. With all the fruit you have there you could make some fabulous varieties. Cannot remember the actual recipe, it was 35 years ago, but I am sure there will be something on Google. For me to have taken the trouble to make it, it couldn't have been too onerous! :)

A101 used to sell a Peach and a Cherry cordial.
It was always always hit and miss - so we would buy a couple of each when it was in stock.
Not sure if they still sell it - it always amazed me that a product that sold out quickly - was never given much shelf space (we often found one bottle wide stocking with 3 or 4 bottles behind).

Efes does the trick

Don't suppose you remember what they were called do you Ian. Sounds like just the job.
Sadler ,I'll look on Google..but that's probably all I'll do. ;D ;D ;D

My hubby said there is one they call 'oralet' which is nice and similar. If you ask for that in the shops they should know it.

Try the pork shops they normally have some

Sorry, can't remember but the bottle was just the same size / shape as the robinsons type cordial you buy in the uk. It really was hit and miss and strangely more available in the winter than the summer over a five year period. It was also a little more syrup-ee than watery - but very nice - Ian

You can also try the powder, I normally mix up a bottle with lemon and leave it in the fridge.

There is the below in kipa but it's a bit weaker then squash in the UK, for lemon I'm using pinar saray limonatasi (from local shop/market) as it's a bit stronger.

A101 keep orange, cherry and peach cordial (very syrupy don't use too much)
It's a bit like the stuff served from hotel breakfast coolers.
-
Thank you. Going down to a101 on ice cream run,( they have an offer on carte dor) I'll pick one of each flavour and see if it does the job. Oralet?
-
Yes Bernie örelet it's like granules you mix with hot or cold water according to your taste how much you add, my hubby said if you ask, shopkeepers should know what it is. :)
-
Thanks. A101 didn't have any, off to bim tommorow.
