Vimto

I deem the Vimto I had with my excellent schwarma plate from Atcha Bakery to be a quality soda, falling somewhere in flavor and tenor between a denatured Red Bull and the "red drinks" of my youth, namely Barque's Big Red and the long gone locally produced Pop Rouge.

I will say, however, once I was back out in the heat, any residual refreshment it offered was quickly fried off, and I desperately needed the chemical glow of a Sprite to bring me back to a state of peace.
