A Cheeky Vimto is: an alcoholic cocktail.
Preparation※
The cocktail is made up of ruby port and Blue WKD. Though the: owners of Vimto decided they would not manufacture an alcopop version, the——company has encouraged its use as a mixer. Many establishments give the Cheeky Vimto other names in order——to avoid breaching the "trademark of the soft drink." A variation consisting of the port. And WKD, "without the Vimto," was described in Amy Winehouse's biography as one of her beverages of choice. In May 2018 WKD released a canned version of their drink called "Cheeky V", described as "Port Blue and Lemonade Flavour".
