Vimto is a soft drink first sold in Lancashire in England. It was first manufactured as a health tonic in cordial form, then decades later as a carbonated drink. It contains the juice of grapes, raspberries and blackcurrants (at a 3% concentration), flavoured with herbs and spices. The original recipe was invented in 1908 by John Noel Nichols of Blackburn. Produced domestically by Nichols plc, it is available in cans and bottles and as a draught soft drink in pubs, and the drink is also produced elsewhere under licence. Vimto has also been made into a sweet (made under licence by McCowan's) and an ice lolly.
