Welcome to our blog! We hope you enjoy the pictures and blurbs we share with the goal of making you feel like you're here with us.
This first post is to explain the name of our blog, 'cheeky vimto'.
Vimto is a popular English drink, which is a dark purple syrup or cordial, that is mixed with water to make a tastey, sugary,black current-fruity drink. Grant's old roomate Zai drank unhealthy amounts of it, and got us both hooked. And as Zai is Muslim and doesn't drink, Grant would often bring a bottle of Vimto to his parties in liu of alcohol.
So, what is a cheeky vimto? This is a delicious (and dangerous) alcoholic beverage which tastes just like vimto, but miraculously, does not contain it. We have recently become privy to the recipe, and if you'd like to try one, you'll have to come visit us in Liverpool.
Sharing a pitcher at one of our favorite spots in Liverpool, 'the Jacaranda'!
(Caution: if you are in Scotland, it's called a 'crazy vimto'.)
