Sparkling Ribena

[Stitch147]

If you get bored with water or diet drinks in the pub give this a try. Spotted it in my local pub. They do 2 flavours, pineapple and passion fruit or blackcurrant and cranberry.
0.8 carbs per 275ml bottle.

Ooh, that sounds nice. Especially with a glug of vodka,

Oh fab - let's hope it catches on, it would be a blessed relief to be able to avoid the ubiquitous Diet Coke!

I hate Diet Coke so something different would be nice, most of the pubs here haven't grasped the concept of sparkling water, I usually get "I can do you a lemonade love"....not we've got still water, nope the trip off the tongue alternative is lemonade 🙄. They're quite crestfallen when I say no. I'll expect it to arrive in this neck of the woods in about 5 years time, I look forward to it

Looks good. I have diet coke, especially from a can, I feel like all I can taste is the can.

Schweppes used to do a diet fizzy orange, which I loved even before diabetes. Very rare a pub had it anyway and it disappeared decades ago.

So - will be interesting to see if it's still available next time I visit a pub - which could be months!

I don't understand why so few places serve diet lemonade. I can't bear coke. I do sometimes have fruit shoot though!

It's supply and demand (with a good helping of marketing). Most of the population aren't diabetic. The rest of the population may make a token attempt to cut down on sugar consumption but in a pub probably couldn't care less. Most people on this forum before they were diagnosed probably didn't give a second thought as to whether their drink in a pub contained sugar or not. Going on what we know a lot of people after they are diagnosed probably don't give a second thought as to whether their drink in a pub contains sugar or not. 🙄

The pub that I go to on a regular basis have been great since I was diagnosed. They let me take in my own roll if I fancy a burger and they got bottles of diet lemonade in too.
