Orange Squash Storage

[Little Lou]

Hello, Scythe13,

I'm storing fruit juice too - for exactly the reasons you mentioned. It's not water, but it makes water go further, and it's really good for morale to have a change and the sense of a 'treat'.

Concentrated orange squash of the Robinson type only keeps (officially) for a year, and I've known it form a thick orange scum on the top about a month or so after that. There's a table of Robinson's drinks here, and you'll see the shelf life is the same for them all.

If you're interested in other types of fruit juice, there's a useful table here of the main 'box and bottle' types. What's really helpful is that it tells you how long you can keep them after the sell-by date - eg it claims that canned apple juice can be safely consumed as much as 9 months after its 'best-by' date. I can't vouch for that (don't sue me!!) but that's what it says.

Still - even if it doesn't keep that long, I don't see why I shouldn't enjoy them for the first year after TSHTF. As long as I remember to keep rotating..
