English term or phrase: Squash

This is within the context of drinks.

Does anybody know how 'squash' would be translated in French? As in the drink concentrate?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Notes to answerer

Asker: I thought about that, but the problem I have with 'sirop' is that the texture is generally completely different from that of a squash. A cordial is like a 'sirop' but a squash has got that sort of watery texture, not syrupy, which is the reason why I was reluctant to use 'sirop'. Any thoughts on that?

Asker: Hi, Would you mind inserting "boisson à diluer" as an answer to this question so that I can select it as the best answer. Thanks in advance Véronique

20 mins confidence:

squash concentré

Explanation:
Depending on just how / why the term is being used in your text, and if the surrounding context makes it clear enough, perhaps it would be enough to call it 'concentrate', as long as the kind of drink is made clear elsewhere.
