What is Ramadan without Vimto?
Well, we hope we never have to find out… It’s the go-to, the staple on every Ramadan table and we simply can’t imagine not having it around. It’s a lot of sugar, yes, so make sure you balance it out and not overdo your Vimto intake… Nonetheless, there’s a whole lot you can actually do with Vimto, so we’ve compiled a few recipes you can make on some Ramadan nights this month. Scroll to check them out:
Our fave classic Vimto
- About a cup (250ml) of cold water
- 2 tablespoons of Vimto syrup
That’s it! A lemon squeeze obviously makes everything that much better, so enjoy!
Classic Vimto Popsicles
- 2 cups of yogurt
- 4 tablespoons of Vimto syrup
- 1 cup of raspberries (fresh with crushed ice, or frozen)
- 1 tsp vanilla syrup
Add the raspberries to a blender, mix everything together in a bowl and then add them to a popsicle mold (or a simple ice cube tray instead)! Freeze them for four hours and enjoy them after Futoor!!
Vimto Mojito
- Add a few mint leaves to a cup

Stir well and enjoy!
Vimto Float
