Vimto's distinctive flavour has been a trade secret since 1908, created by John Noel Nichols in Manchester from a blend of grape, blackcurrant and raspberry juices plus a proprietary mix of herb, spice and fruit extracts. The exact recipe is known to only a few people at the company. Vimto is the dominant soft drink brand in the Middle East, where it outsells all other brands during Ramadan when it is traditionally consumed to break the fast.
