Vimto is a popular British fruity soft drink that quenches your thirst and offers a burst of unique flavors. Making Vimto at home is a simple and fun process. Follow these 14 steps to create the perfect Vimto drink.
1. Gather the ingredients: To make your Vimto drink, you will need:
– 75mL of Vimto cordial
– 250mL of chilled water (sparkling or still)
– Ice cubes
– A slice of lemon or lime (optional)
2. Choose your glass: Select a tall glass for your Vimto drink to make it visually appealing.
3. Chill the glass: Place the glass in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Prepare the ice cubes: Fill an ice cube tray with water and freeze for at least two hours, or use ready-made ice cubes.
5. Retrieve the chilled glass: Carefully take it out of the refrigerator after chilling.
6. Place ice cubes in the glass: Fill approximately one-third of the chilled glass with ice cubes to keep your beverage cold and refreshing.
7. Measure out the Vimto cordial: Using a measuring cup or jigger, carefully pour around 75mL (about three tablespoons) of Vimto cordial into the glass over the ice.
8. Slowly add water: Pour about 250mL (about one cup) of chilled still or sparkling water into the glass ensuring that you don’t overflow it.
9. Stir gently: Use a long spoon to mix the cordial and water, combining them thoroughly without splashing any liquid out from the glass.
10. Taste your drink: Sample your mixed Vimto to ensure it has achieved the right balance of tartness, sweetness, and fruity flavors. Adjust with more cordial or water if necessary.
11. Garnish (optional): For an extra touch of elegance and zing, garnish with a slice of lemon or lime by placing it on the edge of the glass or gently floating on top of the Vimto.
12. Add a straw: Place a reusable straw in the glass for convenient sipping.
13. Serve immediately: Enjoy your homemade Vimto drink while it’s still chilled and vibrant in flavor.
14. Variations: If you want to experiment, try mixing Vimto with other beverages like lemonade or soda for a fizzy twist, or add a few sprigs of fresh mint for a touch of freshness.
