Lunchbox | Asda | Asda's Orange Juice and Spring Water, 4 x 250ml. A handy size bottle, but I found the black plastic band around the drinking top, difficult to peel off! This juice with added water, is yellow in colour and it presents pronounced orange notes that are backed by mouth-watering acidity.

Energy Drink | Asda | Asda's Diet Blue Charge High Impact Stimulation Drink, 250ml. This is as good as the regular Blue Charge!

Tonic Water | Asda | Asda's Extra Special Indian Tonic Water with Tahitian Lime,1L. Well worth a punt. This ES does not have the quinine pungency of the brand, but its softer style and its integrated lime twist will be preferred by some GandT drinkers. Competing Brand: Schweppes | 9 | £0.68 | Yes | Sugar: Amber | No | No | ||||||||||||
Tonic Water | Asda | Asda's Low Calorie Indian Tonic Water with a hint of Lemon Flavour,1L. This is a cheaper alternative to the brands.

Competing Brands: Schweppes and Britvic | 7 | £0.43 | Yes | Contains: Sweeteners | No | No | ||||||||||||
Soda Water | Asda | Asda's Soda Water,1L. This is a cheaper alternative to the brands.

Competing Brands: Schweppes and Britvic | 8 | £0.44 | Yes | No | No | |||||||||||||
Bitter Lemon | Asda | Asda's Bitter Lemon,1L. Put it in the trolley. Much improved since the last time I tasted it. More mouthfilling and it delivers bitter lemon notes from sip to swallow. Competing Brands: Schweppes and Britvic | 8 | £0.44 | Yes | Sugar: Amber | No | No | ||||||||||||
Bitter Lemon | Asda | Asda's Diet Bitter Lemon,1L. Put it in the trolley. The pronounced zippy lemon bite is first class, and it has the advantage of helping to mask the flavour of the added sweetener on the palate and the swallow. Competing Brands: Schweppes and Britvic | 9 | £0.44 | Yes | Contains: Sweeteners | No | No | ||||||||||||
Cranberry | Asda | Asda's Diet Bitter Cranberry,1L. Put it in the trolley. The spiky cranberry flavour is top notch, straight from the bottle or as mixer try it with fresh orange. Competing Brands: Schweppes and Britvic | 9 | £0.44 | Yes | Contains: Sweeteners | No | No | ||||||||||||
Ginger Ale | Asda | Asda's Low Calorie Ginger Ale, 1L. Plenty of fiery ginger notes on the nose, palate and finish. Competing Brands: Canada Dry and Schweppes | 8 | £0.44 | Yes | Contains: Sweeteners | No | No | ||||||||||||
Bitter Lemon | Asda | Asda's Extra Special Sicilian Bitter Lemon, 1L. Put it in the trolley. This delivers pronounced and rounded bitter lemon flavours from start to finish. As good if not better than the leading brand! Competing Brands: Schweppes and Britvic | 10 | £0.63 | Yes | Sugar: Red
Contains: Sulphur Dioxide | No | No | ||||||||||||
Sparkling Juice | Asda | Asda's Sparkling Tropical Fruit Juice and Sparkling Water, 1.5L. This bottle has 60% fruit juice and 40% sparkling water.

Sparkling Juice | Asda | Asda's Sparkling Red Grape and Berry Fruit Juice and Sparkling Water,1.5L. This bottle contains 60% fruit juice and 40% sparkling water. It is the colour of red wine, and has the flavour of a watery Cherryade. | 6 | £0.50 | Yes | Sugar: Amber | No | No | ||||||||||||
Grape Spritzer | Asda | Asda's Extra Special Non Alcoholic Rose Grape Spritzer, 75cl. This is made with a mix of red and white grapes, elderflower extract, flavouring and sparkling water. It is the colour of rose wine, but that's where similarity with the grape or wine ends. The dominant elderflower flavour does not work with the other tastes which makes it a two sip rather than a two glass drink. | 4 | £1.28 | No | Contains: Sweeteners | No | No | ||||||||||||
Grape Spritzer | Asda | Asda's Extra Special, Non Alcoholic Red Grape Spritzer, 75c.l This tastes nothing like wine or any other drink I've tasted, however, it is not unpleasant, but I doubt you'd be pouring a second glass. | 5 | £1.28 | No | Sugar: Amber | No | No | ||||||||||||
Grape Spritzer | Asda | Asda's Extra Special Non Alcoholic Grape, Cranberry and Raspberry, Rose Spritzer, 75cl. The addition of cranberry and raspberry flavours make this the best of Asda's ES non-alcoholic spritzer range. | 6 | £1.28 | No | Sugar: Amber | No | No | ||||||||||||
Tonic Water | Asda | Asda's Indian Tonic Water, 1L. There is an excellent flavour balance between the quinine bite and the sharp citric flavours and it works well as a mixer for a GandT. However, straight up, the added sweeteners leave their twang after the swallow. Competing Brands: Schweppes and Britvic | 8 | £0.43 | Yes | Sugar: Amber
Contains: Sweeteners | No | No | ||||||||||||
Coca Cola & Pepsi | Asda | Asda's Cola Diet Caffeine Free, 2L. This just won't cut it for Cola aficionados, it lacks bite, flavour and the sweetener kicks in a little too much after the swallow. Competing Brands: Coca Cola and Pepsi | 5 | £0.43 | Yes | Contains: Gluten, Barley & Sweeteners | No | No | ||||||||||||
Coca Cola & Pepsi | Asda | Asda's Cola Diet, 2L. This big bottle delivers cola flavours, but of not of the taste quality of the two leading brands. Competing Brands: Coca Cola and Pepsi | 6 | £0.43 | Yes | Contains: Gluten, Barley & Sweeteners | No | No | ||||||||||||
Coca Cola & Pepsi | Asda | Asda's Cola, 2L. Much better tasting than Asda's diet and caffeine free Colas, and certainly worth a punt as an alternative to the big brands. Competing Brands: Coca Cola and Pepsi | 8 | £0.43 | Yes | Sugar: Amber
Contains: Gluten & Barley | No | No | ||||||||||||
