Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.75 / 5
The Knickersoff Vimto cocktail is a simple, fruity mixed drink that combines the strong flavors of vodka with the sweet and unique taste of Vimto, a British soft drink made from a mix of fruit juices, flavored with herbs and spices. The addition of lemonade adds a fizzy, refreshing quality and complements the sweetness of the Vimto, making this cocktail an easy-drinking choice for those who enjoy sweet, fruit-flavored beverages. It's typically served in a highball glass, which allows plenty of room for ice, making it a cold and invigorating drink suitable for casual social gatherings or as a fun, indulgent treat.
