Super Vimto is a modern, highball-style mixed drink that leans into the playful, neon-coloured “alcopop” era of easygoing pub cocktails. Rather than a storied classic with a fixed origin, you’ll find it sits in the same family as simple, built drinks designed for maximum flavour and minimal fuss—tall, sweet, and unapologetically bold in a pint glass.
On the palate, vodka brings a clean, neutral backbone that lets the other ingredients do the talking. Port adds a rich, dark-fruit sweetness and a rounded, wine-like depth, which contrasts with the bright, candy-like character of WKD blue. Together, the port’s weighty sweetness and the alcopop’s sharp, sugary lift create a punchy, jammy profile that stays smooth rather than boozy.
This is the one you reach for when you want something fun, colourful, and crowd-pleasing—ideal for casual nights out, house parties, or pre-drinks where you’re not chasing subtlety. If you like sweet, fruit-forward serves and don’t mind a big, long drink, you’ll feel right at home with it.

Cocktail Colin says:
Vodka lays down a clean, neutral backbone while port brings jammy, grapey richness, and WKD blue floods the pint with bright, sugary berry-candy fizz that dominates the sip. It works because the port’s dark fruit depth gives the WKD sweetness some weight and the vodka boosts strength without adding flavor, suiting anyone who likes loud, sweet, neon highballs.
