Cheeky Cheeky

Well its cheeky Thursday so what better way than to have little look at Cheeky Vimto
It is so easy:-
• 275ml blue WKD
• 50ml port

Did you know time:-
As you can see there is no actually Vimto present in the drink but got its name as when you mixed, it tastes just like it, hence Cheeky Vimto (naughty Vimto)
It is thought that the Cheeky bit comes from “going for a cheeky half”.
It is often said the drink was invented by Kris Aidan Jones in the mid. Cheeky Vimto’s were made famous by lovely lass Charlotte Church, but really came to fashionable too when Dublin resident and socialite Samuel Dupernex started drinking them.

Original Vimto is made up of the juice of grapes, raspberries and blackcurrants (in a 3% concentration), flavoured with herbs and spices.

Vimto was born 1908 Manchester, (Yippee). It was originally had the name Vim Tonic as it was registered as a health tonic or medicine. It which was shortened to Vimto in 1912 and in 1913 classed as a cordial.
