I took that to mean a mixer for refreshing alcoholic beverages.

Unless I'm thinking of the wrong thing, it's like Koolaid, only liquid instead of powder. Like condensed juice, but not frozen. You mix it with water.

And then add booze, right?

Well, I guess you can add booze to anything.
Especially if you're Nadenu.

Well, either YSU isn't the only one looking, or he's been looking for a while.
Maybe contact the manufacturer for a list of suppliers?
OR talk to these guys.

Tried Oddbins?
ETA: I'm assuming you mean the green mint syrup that's like an alcy-free version of Creme de Menthe, right?

If ever a thread should've had my name on it, that was the one.
I love Sirop de Menthe. I used to drink it all the time as a kid. With water, or lemonade, in the summer, it's just perfect.
Anyway, there are a few places I know of where you can get the original Teisseire brand, like in France. One is right next to Baron Court's tube station. If you exit the station, just on your right is a delicatessen kinda shop, and they usually sell it there.
Otherwise, there's a Costcutter on Blythe Road (near Hammersmith), where they sell it, as well as a ton of other French stuff, like yoghurts and biscuits and compotes and stuff. Costcutter are franchises, so they each choose what they import, and that particular one is totally french. Awesome.
But if you wanna play it safe, you go to South Kensington, and check the shops around the French Lycee and on Harrington road and Bromtpon road. I'm 99% sure there's a cafe on Brompton road, opposite the Tesco express, that sells it.
Good luck!

Yes, this thread was kind of made with you in mind. My flatmate brought a tin over for us and I drank it all in a couple of days, then promised to get some more, then realised this afternoon what a commitment that was (after calling about 3 snooty French delis that didn't have it).
I personally prefer it mixed with milk, have yet to experiment with alcohol. I'm sure that will happen. :)
The one in Hammersmith sounds worth a visit as well; (possibly cheaper?) and can check out other French foodstuffs.
Anyway. It is the ****. Many thanks :)

The other flavours are pretty tasty too. I recommend Grenadine, especially. There's this cocktail called a "Monaco" which is basically Grenadine syrup and beer. As teenagers, we used to drink all the time. It's sooo sweet. I can't recall the number of times I puked that stuff after parties. It's not quite as nice when it's coming out, admitedly.
The Androse compottes are also deliciously tasty, and that Costcutter has got them too.

For those of us in the states, try World Market
They usually carry a good selection of things like this. Hell, it's the only place I can find that has a decent scone mix.
If not, try a -good- local purveyor of alcoholic libations.
No, Joe's Booze Bucket is not going to have it but, if you know of a place where the clerk can explain the difference between Cognac and Brandy you might be in luck.
