What A Gorgeous Scent

October 16, 2015 8:52am CST
Forget yankee candles, my house smells absolutely divine right now. I've just boiled some Vimto for half an hour to drive off preservatives and the concentrated scent of mixed fruit is wafting round the house. Seems almost a shame to confine the scent to a demijohn, but when it cools I'm going to do just that, pour it in a demijohn, add three litres of apple juice and some yeast. Bung an airlock on, top up with more apple juice in a few days and then in about two weeks time I'll have some home made cheeky Vimto.

That sounds pretty scary stuff. I guess it's alco-vimto?

Pretty much or a vimto flavoured cider, great for bbqs and parties

@firef1y I'd hope nobody drinks too much and pukes - the colour would be scary.

@boiboing I'm probably going to the one that drinks it and I'm a lightweight lol, probably only have one glass at a time. Saying that I'm strangely reminded of a session downing snakebites way back when I was 18, there was some rather fetching pink results to that competition.

You are making lots of effort for this drink is it?
