How to make a Cheeky Vimto - An Amazing Cheeky Vimto Recipe

What is a Cheeky Vimto?

A Cheeky Vimto is a fruity, purple-coloured drink created to taste like the Vimto soft drink (or pop, or soda, or…well, you get the idea).

So that’s the Vimto part of the name covered, but cheeky? Well, I guess that refers to the alcohol in the drink. It’s not just Vimto, it’s got some cheeky booze in it despite the taste.

Or it could be because it gets you good and drunk, without you knowing too much about it. Now that is cheeky.

So an entirely fantastic Cheeky Vimto recipe is all well and good, but what even is Vimto? What does it taste like?

What is Vimto?

Vimto is a mixed fruit drink that can be bought in a fizzy or juice variety- both delicious.

This is what it looks like.

It’s difficult to describe the taste of the drink beyond “mixed fruit drink”. There are no comparisons. If you can, you’ve got to try it.

…ANYWAY let’s get back to Cheeky Vimto.
