Vimto Original Fruit Juice Cordial

Vimto is one of my favourite drinks, although, I believe for some people, it is too sugary, which I can understand. However, it is great as it is cordial which needs diluting with "four parts water", according to the bottle, with "extra water for toddlers". This means that for people, perhaps especially children, who are not keen of plain water, cordial like this is a great way of keeping hydrated. However, back to the sugar...so what's the damage? Well, in a 250 ml serving of Vimto, you'll find: Calories - 65 (3%) Sugars - 16.5g (18%) Fat - Trace (<1%) Saturates - Trace (<1%) Salt - Trace ...  Read the complete review

Over the years, I had gradually been going off squash drinks. From being young and drinking nothing but, I guess I got bored with them, and preferred the more tasty drinks of Fruit Juices and Fizzy Drinks. It was eventually at the point, where I drank nothing but Tea, Orange Juice, or fizzy drinks, squash was for the emergencies - when there was nothing else to have. But then, Mum bought a bottle of Vimto. It sat on the kitchen side, unopened, untested by anyone in the family. I tried it out of curiosity, I mean, I like the fizzy version, which I had been enjoying for years. First off, Vimto Juice Drink comes in two varieties, the normal, and no added ...  Read the complete review

Vimto is a mixed fruit drink, made of grape, blackcurrant and raspberry. It's not a high fruit concentrate it contains only 10% fruit juice, so compared to some of the fruit juices which contain up to 50% fruit juice it's not really that good for you. The drink however does contain 20% of the daily recommended amount of vitamins C, so this is quite a good way of getting your children to take their vitamins C even if they don't like eating fruit. I used to drink Vimto a lot as a child, but once reaching adulthood, Vimto went by the wayside in favour of other drinks. But just recently I decided to buy a bottle as I've seen it half-price in Home ...  Read the complete review

Vimto is a fruit squash drink that you dilute with water, it boasts that it contains added vitamin C and it comes in a plastic recyclable bottle. Vimto can be quite expensive compared to other squash drinks but it all depends on where you buy it. I paid 99p for a 1 litre bottle in a value shop called B&M and I've also seen Vimto in pound shops but it's £1.57 in Asda for 1 litre or £2.20 for 1.5 litres in Sainsbury's. A one litre bottle will provide roughly 20 servings, unless you like to drink it *really* strong like I do! It has a sweet and gentle fruity smell, and it's purple in colour ("Shlurple the purple!" as the slogan ...  Read the complete review
