All you need to nail the tasty-looking drink is Smirnoff, WKD Dark Fruits and Cherryade. 

A woman shared a photo of Vimto cocktails and shared how she took them to the next level using sweets like Vimto Fizzy Pencils and Strawberry Laces as a garnish. 

After uploading on the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she has racked up thousands of likes from her boozy creations. 

One person commented that the drink was a “game changer”, with another added: “wow that looks lush!!”

People advised that to give it a “slushy” flavour, all you need to do is add lots of ice cubes and put it all in a blender.

Although the cocktail doesn’t actually have Vimto in, the combined ingredients are said to make it taste similar to the childhood favourite drink. 

One person commented: “Need to get the ingredients in for the weekend!”
