I have been on the hunt for some Schweppers Mandarin since I found it and enjoyed it in Turkey this year.
None of my local off licences have heard of it, none of the supermarkets stock it and neither of the two wholesalers local to me stock it.
Any ideas on where I can obtain some of this lovely nectar?
Has anyone seen it for sale here in the UK?

Start by spelling it Schweppes Mandarin and then use google ... only Schweppes Mandarin & Grapefruit came up at a quick glance

No, not that sadly. Comes in the usual big SchweppES bottles, the 1.25 or 1.5 litre ones I believe.
You can get Grapefruit and Mandarin, but not straight Mandarin.

I'm sure it is. I came across Mandarin and Grapefruit, but this stuff states mandarin only. Even though the label looks different I suspect it may be the stuff.
