Vimto

Vimto is a British mixed fruit soft drink containing the juice of grapes, raspberries, and blackcurrants, flavoured with herbs and spices. Originating in Salford, Northern England, the recipe was invented in 1908 by John Noel Nichols of Blackburn. It was first manufactured as a health tonic in cordial form, then decades later as a carbonated drink. Produced domestically by Nichols plc, it is available in cans and bottles in carbonated, still, cordial (squash), and energy forms and it has also been made into various sweets, an ice lolly and other items. Vimto is traditionally most popular in the north of England and is also sold globally under licence, and enjoys high popularity in the Persian Gulf Arab states, North Africa, Somalia and in The Gambia and Senegal.
