Vimto, the vibrant purple drink, has a surprisingly global reach. While it's now enjoyed worldwide, its roots are distinctly British—it was first concocted in 1908 by John Noel Nichols in Manchester, England. Initially, Vimto was marketed as a health tonic to give people 'vim and vigour', hence the name. It was only later that it transformed into the beloved beverage it is today. But here's the surprising bit: Vimto has an enormous following in the Middle East, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan. It was first exported there in the 1920s, and now it's a cherished staple at iftar—the meal that breaks the fast. So, whether it's enjoyed chilled on a British summer day, or savoured warm during a Middle Eastern Ramadan evening, Vimto's appeal is truly universal.
