Both a [[squash (drink)|still, dilutable version]] ("Vimto Cordial") and a [[Carbonation|carbonated]] premixed version ("Fizzy Vimto") are available in the UK. While Vimto has its origins in [[Northern England]], it can now be found both nationally and internationally. The cordial version is more widely sold and is available in concentrate and ready-to-drink varieties. The cordial version was widely known for being suitable for [[Veganism|vegans]] until Vimto  added [[vitamin D]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vimto.co.uk/faqs/is-vimto-vegetarian-and-what-about-us-vegans/|url-status=live|title=Is Vimto Suitable For Vegetarians and Vegans?|publisher=Vimto|date=4 February 2023|archive-date=4 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230204125014/https://www.vimto.co.uk/faqs/is-vimto-vegetarian-and-what-about-us-vegans/}}</ref> which is derived from sheep's wool,<ref name="Holick05">{{cite journal | vauthors = Holick MF | title = The vitamin D epidemic and its health consequences | journal = The Journal of Nutrition | volume = 135 | issue = 11 | pages = 2739S–2748S | date = November 2005 | pmid = 16251641 | doi = 10.1093/jn/135.11.2739S | url = http://jn.nutrition.org/content/135/11/2739S.full.pdf| doi-access = free}}</ref> in April 2021.

Vimto is also available in a [[Slushy|slush]] variety alongside many other different Vimto confectionery products, such as Vimto bars, lollipops, Rip Rolls, candy sprays, and [[Jelly Babies]].{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

Vimto is also available in the form of an energy drink, Vimto Energy, made with natural caffeine and real fruit juice.

Vimto is also available in a summer flavour, containing ingredients such as [[Orange (fruit)|orange]] and [[apple]], both of which are [[squash (drink)|cordial]] products. Vimto was the UK's fastest-growing soft drinks brand by value in 2006 (as measured by [[Nielsen Corporation]]).{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

An alcoholic [[cocktail]] known as the [[Cheeky Vimto]] or "Crazy Vimto" is also drunk in the UK. However, Vimto is not an ingredient of this beverage, and the name comes from its resemblance to the original product; instead, it contains [[Port wine|port]] and [[WKD Original Vodka|Blue WKD]]. There is also a variant of this cocktail called "Dirty Vimto" that replaces the port with [[Buckfast Tonic Wine]].{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

Vimto is also often made as a hot beverage by simply adding boiling water to the concentrate,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.talkingretail.com/products-news/grocery/vimto-goes-hot-17-09-2012/|title=Vimto goes hot!|website=Talkingretail.com|date=17 September 2012|access-date=16 February 2020|archive-date=16 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200216211617/https://www.talkingretail.com/products-news/grocery/vimto-goes-hot-17-09-2012/|url-status=live}}</ref> and is popular in this form throughout the north of England. Vimto is often made with hot water, especially during the winter months. It is also taken to sporting events in vacuum flasks by spectators as a warming drink to fend off the winter chill.

Various alternate-flavoured variants of Vimto were introduced over the years; cherry- and strawberry-flavoured variants, known as "Cherry Vimto" and "Strawberry Vimto", have become part of the range. In 2016, a new variant, "Vimto Remix", was introduced. This range consists of various alternate flavour mixes that were introduced each year – mango, strawberry and pineapple in 2016, raspberry, orange, and passionfruit in 2017, watermelon, strawberry, and peach in 2018 and strawberry, orange and lime in 2019. The "Remix" name was eventually dropped after the drink was rebranded in 2021, while new flavour mixes continue to be introduced.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}

Homemade variations include a Vimto Milkshake made by adding milk instead of water to the cordial, and a Vimto Milkshake Special involving the same with vanilla ice-cream added.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}}
