माल्टा स्क्वैश — a 700 ml bottle of malta squash, made from the juice of malta, the winter citrus of the Uttarakhand hills, which is sweeter than a lemon and a little sharper than an orange.
Mix one part squash with three parts water, as the shop recommends, and serve it cold. In hill homes a glass of malta is offered to guests in the warm months; it also makes a good base for a mocktail with soda and mint.
This bottle is sold by Uttraksh Enterprises in New Delhi; a 2 litre size is listed too. Store it unopened in a cool, dark place, and refrigerate once open, pouring without touching the neck of the bottle.

Buransh sharbat is lightly floral and tart, with a clear deep red colour. Malta and galgal squashes are bright and citrusy, galgal noticeably sour, and hill apple juice is mild and sweet.
Most bottles are concentrates, mixed with several parts of chilled water or soda; the label gives the shop's own ratio. Hill families serve them to guests in summer, sometimes with a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of pisyu loon on the rim. Some people also pour a little over ice cream or into lemonade.
Unopened bottles keep in a cool cupboard, out of the sun. Once opened, close the cap tightly, keep the bottle in the fridge and pour without touching the neck.
Sealed bottles usually keep for several months; once opened, finish within a few weeks. The bottle's label gives the shop's own best-before date.
Fine fruit or petal pulp settles in drinks that are not heavily filtered. Shake the bottle before pouring. It is part of the drink, not a fault.
Buransh gets its red from the petals. Some shops add colour and some do not; the ingredient list on the label and the product page says exactly what is in each bottle.
If it fizzes when you open it, the cap bulges, or it smells sour or alcoholic, it has started to ferment and should be thrown away.
