I tried all the supermarket cloudy lemonades – refreshing 90p winner is perfect drink for a summery day
But shoppers at Tesco have had to find a substitute after the store removed it from its soft drinks range.
Lovers of the fizz have been pleading online for it to be reinstated.
Meanwhile, which other own-brand bottles of pop can they turn to?
Laura Stott samples a selection and gives her verdict.
Diet Lemonade with Lemon Juice, 330ml, 55p, Tesco
WITH Tesco's traditional-style cloudy lemonade being withdrawn, what I found left on the shelves instead was this lemonade made with 2 per cent lemon juice.
So it's easy to see why shoppers who usually buy the 'old-fashioned' style drink are not happy.
While there is nothing wrong with this version, the flavour is just not the same.
It is described as sherbet- tasting, but it's more like a plain lemonade and the disappointing fruit flavour is very wishy-washy.
There also is no yellowy colour, which that is part of the enjoyment of the traditional drink.
It's artificial tasting and lacking in zing.
Hardly comparable to a delicious chilled glass of the original cloudy fizz. An unsatisfying substitute.
Rating: 2/5
Cloudy Lemonade, 750ml £3.50, M&S
THIS yummy real lemonade in its fancy glass bottle is rammed with the taste of juicy Italian fruits – and is the posh bottle to buy if you want to treat yourself or you are having people over.
Made with 4 per cent Sicilian lemon juice and an additional 4 per cent puree on top, this double whammy really elevates the juiciness.
Combined with carbonated water, it's incredibly moreish and hits the perfect spot between sweet and sharp.
There is no escaping the fact this is a costlier option, and 750ml won't go that far.
I'd suggest this is one best kept for the grown-ups to enjoy as a nice alcohol-free offering, or to have at a summer barbecue or garden party.
It is expensive but if you are buying as a booze-free alternative, it isn't bad value. Would be a good mixer for summer cocktails.
Rating: 3/5
Vive Lemon Zero Sugar, 85p, 2 litres, Aldi
ALDI'S lemon sparkling drink is a good price, but the two-litre bottle was no better value than most of the other own-brand options.
It also contains a slightly lower amount of lemon juice from concentrate than many of the other supermarket offerings.
They predominantly contain 4 per cent fruit juice, whereas this one is lower at just 3 per cent .
That said, the flavour is a little different, perhaps closer to one of the big-brand fizzy lemon drinks, rather than a traditional summertime 'cloudy' lemonade recipe.
I found it sweeter, too, which was not to my taste. But that can be a matter of personal preference.
It reminded me of a lemon drink you might buy on holiday to slurp as a change from a cola by the swimming pool.
Rating: 2/5
Cloudy Lemonade, 6 x 330ml cans, Sainsbury's, £2.05
BUYING fizzy drinks as individual cans is a great way to make sure pop does not end up being wasted and poured down the sink when it goes flat.
And while this multi-pack is a little pricier at the till, the price per can is not too painful.
A super way to quench your thirst on a hot day.
There's plenty of the lemon flavour that you want in these sunny sippers, which can be enjoyed nice and chilled.
The bright and bold citrus flavour certainly refreshes your palate and perks you up.
The downside of drinking it this way is you don't get to enjoy the 'cloudy' colour, unless you pour it into a glass.
On the plus side, it's perfect for picnics or for drinking on the go.
A very good glug.
4/5
Diet Cloudy Lemonade, 2 litres, 90p, Co-op
A VERY stylish big bottle of pop from the Co-op, with a fun label that adults won't be embarrassed to have in the fridge. It has a gorgeous vibrant yellow colour too!
A bit more citrus flavour than some of the other supermarket options, thanks to a combination of lemon juices that provide this one with a lovely balance point between tart and sweet.
A little less gassy than some other options.
It seems a bit softer and gentler to sip, which I rather enjoyed.
But if you prefer the bubbles-up-your-nose sensation of a fizzy drink, you might want one with a bit more 'pop'.
It also means it is likely to go flat faster.
Very refreshing and tasty though, and packed with traditional and comforting fruity flavour.
Delicious, and a perfect drink on a summery day.
Rating: 5/5
Cloudy Lemonade, 2 litres, 80p, Morrisons
THIS no-added-sugar fizz from Morrisons has a delicious cloudy hue that had the strongest citrus colour of all the bottles of pop I slurped.
Made with 4 per cent concentrated lemon, it gives you all the soft tang of the fruit but it has been made more palatable with the addition of some sweetness.
Very bubbly and fizzy, so a chilled glass of this on a warm day really hits the spot for refreshing you and quenching your thirst.
I did find it had a slightly artificial aftertaste, but that's not uncommon with any carbonated drinks that have sucralose added to them.
A lovely warm-weather sip that will be a great fridge standby at this time of year. Very good value, too.
Rating: 4/5
Diet Cloudy Lemonade, 2 litres, 82p, Asda
LOADS of lemon bubbles for your bucks in Asda's own citrus fizz, which is tangy and tasty.
While not as sharp or tingly on the tongue as some others, it is still packed with the flavours of the fruit.
A very pale yellow-green cloudy colour which, when chilled, looks delicious.
You'll be pleased to pour out a glass of this to quench your thirst on a hot day, and it's even better over ice.
It is made with 4 per cent concentrated juice and is another supermarket slurper to come as a diet option.
If you fancy a change from a plain lemonade, the fruit flavour really does elevate this to a more enjoyable drink.
It would make a super mixer with spirits such as vodka or gin.

Next's chunky sandals can be worn for 12 hours without getting blisters – they're a stylish & comfy city break must-have
Summer is the perfect time to ditch clunky boots and bring out some cute sandals. But let's be honest: as much as we love them, sandals can come with one major downside—blisters. However, shoppers have been raving about a game-changing pair from Next that keep you blister-free and are ideal for city breaks. The sandals in question are their Standard Chunky Buckled Sandals which come in a wide fit size. They come in four colours to match your holiday wardrobe - white, black, red and metallic blue - and thankfully don't break the bank. You can pick up a pair for £38, and they come in sizes three to nine. Helpfully the shoe also comes in half sizes so you can get the perfect summer fit without any pinching in the heat. The shoe boasts a five-star rating, with numerous shoppers gushing about it in the reviews. One person shared that although they thought they were 'chunky' at first, they have since fallen in love with them. They wrote: 'Really comfy, no need to wear them in first, good shape so no trips yet, gives a bit of an edge to linen trousers & will be trying with dresses of different styles & lengths soon. 'I work in Leeds twice a week & use the back entrance of the station which is a long way from canal level, so don't trust myself in slides/mules. 'Risked wearing them from home to home last week (12 ish hours) and passed the first wear test brilliantly.' 'I can feel the blisters' shoppers cry as River Island becomes latest high street store to jump on 'painful' 90s shoe trend Another shopper added: 'Excellent comfort and the size was perfect.' Next has a host of chunky sandals on their website and in stores, which could be perfect for summer breaks or day outs. They also have a stylish Birkenstock dupe which comes in a gorgeous tan colour and costs £35. The Leather Standard Fit Forever Comfort Back Strap Footbed Sandals comes in both a regular and wide-fit sizing, and also boasts glowing five-star reviews. One person wrote: 'Very comfy, robust sandals for walking and sightseeing. 'Excellent value for money compared to similar brand name sandals.' Meanwhile, their Forever Comfort Slot Mule Sandals comes in eight colours - including tan, black and white, and is slightly more purse-friendly at £24. People have also raved about how the shoe is 'great for holidays' and doesn't 'rub on holiday in the evening heat.' The shoes could be the perfect option if you are looking to combine being stylish with having the ultimate comfort. We previously shared how a style profession revealed the summer shoes to avoid if you don't want to look frumpy. The strict shoe rule all royal women follow WE notice lots of things about royal women, from their impeccable outfits and glossy hair, but there is a strict rule when it comes to shoes too. For official engagements or outings when representing the royal family it's considered bad etiquette to wear open shoes as they're seen to be too informal. And this is a rule all of the women in the royal family have to abide by. Taking a look back at Kate Middleton's outfits, she's always one to wear a court style and it turns out it's not by choice (even though they do always look great). Female guests at the royal wedding were also told to avoid flashing their toes. That wasn't the only dress-code instruction either, they were advised to wear dresses that covered their shoulders and that were midi length or longer.

Giovanna Fletcher: ‘I used to get up early for my children; now I get up early for the garden'
Actress, author and podcaster Giovanna Fletcher launched her podcast Happy Mum Happy Baby eight years ago, and was crowned the winner of I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! in 2020. She met her husband, the McFly singer Tom Fletcher, at drama school; they married in 2012 and have three children. Four years ago, they moved into a country house with what she describes as her dream garden. Where do you live? About four years ago, my husband Tom, our three boys and I moved to a little village in Hertfordshire. The house used to be the farmhouse of the 'great house' next door and was built in 1710, so straight away there was a sense that we were its new custodians, as well as its owners. Things like the electricity and plumbing were quite patchy, so we did have to pull that out and start again, but I couldn't wait to turn my attention to the garden. The house has an orangery at the back and came with five acres, including a woodland, a field and a very large south-facing garden divided into different sections. At a glance, we knew the previous owners must have loved it, because it had an immaculate lawn, a large weeping willow, flower beds, hanging wisteria and lavender around the patio. What's your main interest in the garden? I used to grow vegetables in our last garden, but by the time we moved here, that had turned into an obsession, and I couldn't wait to get my hands in the soil. Having said that, not long after we arrived, a huge storm blew all the glass out of a lovely old greenhouse at the bottom of the garden. I didn't want to get rid of it, so we swapped the glass for the polythene used in polytunnels and gave it a lick of paint. The next job was to build raised beds. I'd never done this before and, while I wouldn't call Tom a keen gardener, he did a brilliant job making them. They're 60cm high to avoid at least one pest – carrot fly. Potatoes went in, then all sorts of seeds which I buy from Real Seeds and Tomato Revolution – chilli, pepper, cucumber, carrot, cherry, courgette. The funny thing is, when the kids were babies and I was up at night, I'd be looking on my phone to buy things they needed. Now, if I can't sleep, I'm looking at seed varieties! Which veg is your favourite? At the very top of my list are tomatoes and it's probably because it connects me to the Italian side of the family, particularly my father's mother, Nonna. She lived to the age of 96 and left a huge impression on me; Dad idolised her. She was born and raised in a mountain village, just outside Naples, and when she married my grandfather, she went to live with him on his farm. Then in November 1980, there was a terrible earthquake, and their village was nearly wiped out. They had to live in tents and eventually got a prefab house but still had to go up the mountain for water. Most importantly, they got a garden where Nonna used to grow tomatoes. We'd go over there in the summer just as they were getting ripe, so there were always plenty of amazing salads, but Nonna would also begin the tradition of making pots of passata which would keep for months. In memory of her, I now make it too. Do your children help you in the garden? We have three boys – Buzz, 11, Buddy, 9, and Max, 6 – so the garden is their playground, but they'll often come and see what I'm doing or help me plant something. We have a bed full of strawberry plants which they love picking as soon as they're ripe, and last summer, Max and his friend had great fun helping me pull up the potatoes. He also brought home a broad-bean plant from school, and, like any parent, I refused to let this plant die! Happily, it lived and went on to produce lots of beans which we replanted this year, so Max now has loads of broad-bean babies which he's very pleased about. I just need to find some great recipes to use them up. Did you have a garden as a child? My family lived above a café in Canning Town in East London until I was three, when we moved to Essex. We then had a garden, which was used by my brother, sister and me for bikes and paddling pools, but I also remember parading around it in Mum's high heels and fake fur coats. Then when I turned 13, we were living in a village in Essex called Ingatestone and I applied for a Saturday job at the village's family-run florist. It was the week before Valentine's and they'd just lost their bucket girl. It was mayhem! A few weeks later, it was Mother's Day, and we were inundated. It was a real focal point for the community and life's big occasions – babies, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and funerals. I loved it and stayed for four years. I only left because I got my driving licence and got a job at Debenhams in Chelmsford. Did your floristry experience give you a particular affinity for flowers? I absolutely love anything that blooms. And when we came here, we were lucky to inherit some wonderful flowers, including large peony bushes and hydrangeas which have the biggest flowerheads I've ever seen. They also turn from beautiful shades of lilac blue to powder pink. On one side, there's a small pond which looked like the perfect spot to create something new, so we got a company called Dig to help us build an herbaceous area to fill with flowering shrubs. It has a pink and peach theme and looks gorgeous. Sometimes, I wish we had a proper cutting garden. Problem is, I'd probably struggle to cut the flowers and bring them in. Is the garden home to much wildlife? In the field we have beside the house, there's a much larger pond. Next to it, the previous owners had made a sauna, and we fully intended to go in the sauna and jump in the pond every day. That didn't happen. Bit by bit, the pond was overtaken by wildlife which is wonderful. We also have ducks, as well as rescue chickens, and they love it. Next, we had newts, toads and frogs moving in, which the boys – who already have a bearded dragon lizard and a giant African land snail – go down to look for all the time. They did want us to add some big fish to the pond, and we nearly made the massive mistake of buying koi. Just before we did, Tom found out that they would have eaten everything else in the pond. Do you often find yourself 'disappearing' into the garden? I spent 11 years getting up ridiculously early to sort out the boys. Now I find myself getting up ridiculously early to water the plants. The greenhouse is slightly removed from the house, so I'll often go in there and listen to a podcast or some music; at the moment it's this lovely album by Michael Kiwanuka called Small Changes. The music and the garden just seem to transport me somewhere else. I've come to realise that gardening teaches you to stop… to calm down and switch off. As in life, the garden comes with failures as well as successes, and it's the failures that teach you resilience, perseverance and plenty of patience.

I'm a gardening expert – here's the post-heatwave flowers you need to plant now to inject vibrant, seasonal colour
AFTER a scorching weekend, the recent cooler and wetter weather will come as a a welcome relief – especially for keen gardeners. The turn in conditions give us a perfect opportunity to revive outdoor spaces that have been left looking dull, brown and lifeless by the dry conditions. 2 2 And it's the perfect time for gardens to come alive with colour. The experts say with just a few standout plants, even the smallest yards can feel refreshed and full of life. Emma Fell, Head of Horticulture at Hillier Garden Centres, has shared her top picks for injecting vibrant, seasonal colour – from bold dahlias to cheerful rudbeckias. Whether you're working with a small patio or a full garden bed, these low-effort selections are ideal for bringing gardens back to life. Dahlia These pretty flowers are celebrated for their impressive, sculptural blooms that come in an extensive palette of colours and forms. Emma said: "From delicate pastels to fiery reds and oranges, their versatility makes them an excellent choice for creating impact. They thrive best in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. "Regular watering and deadheading will encourage continuous flowering, often lasting from midsummer right through to the first frost. Their striking presence makes them ideal for borders or large containers.' Garvinea These blooms bring the same joyful daisy-like blooms and vivid colours as traditional gerbera, but with the added benefit of improved hardiness, the experts say. Wake up to a weed-free lawn for months thanks to Aldi's £10 gadget that pulls them out without bending or kneeling down Emma explains: "Unlike typical gerbera, which are often treated as tender bedding or indoor plants, Garvinea are bred to be more robust – able to withstand cooler UK temperatures and even light frosts. "Available in vibrant shades of pink, red, orange and yellow, they flower prolifically from spring through to autumn. "Ideal for borders, containers or cut flower displays, they thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, with regular feeding and watering to keep the blooms coming.' Impatiens Also known as Busy Lizzies, they are a top choice for shaded areas where many flowering plants struggle. The expert says: "Their abundant blooms in shades of pink, red, white and purple provide much-needed vibrancy to darker corners of your garden. "These plants prefer partial shade and moist, well-drained soil (in full shade they will be reduced in flowering). "Because of their shade tolerance and ease of care, they're perfect for brightening patios, balconies and shaded garden beds.' Geraniums Bedding geraniums are a staple for summer colour due to their robust nature and prolific blooming. Emma says: "Offering bright, cheerful flowers in reds, pinks, whites and purples, these plants are drought-tolerant once established and perform well in full sun to partial shade. "Their versatility makes them ideal for edging beds, containers or hanging baskets, providing reliable colour throughout the warmer months." Rudbeckia These flowers bring warm, golden yellow blooms with dark centres that add a striking contrast to any planting scheme. And they flower from midsummer into autumn. The garden guru added: "They are excellent for attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. "Rudbeckias prefer full sun and well-drained soil, making them low maintenance yet highly effective plants for summer colour."
