Rating

3.63 / 5
The Crazy Vimto cocktail is a simple yet distinctive beverage that blends the rich, fruity sweetness of port with the popular, brightly colored WKD Blue alcopop. As the name implies, the drink harks to the classic British soft drink, Vimto, known for its mix of grape, raspberry, and blackcurrant flavors. When combined, the robust flavors of the port marry with the carbonated, berry-flavored effervescence of WKD Blue, resulting in a deep purple-hued cocktail with a unique taste profile. Typically served in a highball glass over ice, the Crazy Vimto offers a playful twist on fruit punch and is both refreshing and indulgent, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy sweeter, fruit-forward cocktails.
