Shoppers rejoice as Aldi launches ‘UK’s favourite cocktail’ that ‘sends you to Mexico’

ALDI has sent shoppers wild after launching what it's calling the UK's favourite cocktail that can "send you to Mexico" for under a tenner.

The bargain supermarket released The Infusionist Margarita in stores and online across the country on Thursday.

In a statement, Aldi said: "On your margs, get set, pour!  The margarita has been voted the UK’s favourite cocktail.

"Aldi has cocktail lovers sorted this summer with a new ready-to-pour Margarita for less than £8!

"It’s an easy way for shoppers to enjoy the nation’s favourite cocktail without the fuss of making it or pulling on purse strings."

For just £7.49, The Infusionist Margarita promises to transport fans to the sunny shores of Mexico with its zingy flavours of lemon and sweet orange combined with spicy, smooth tequila.

Aldi's new margarita cocktail will be joined by the new Infusionist Strawberry Daiquiri, also available from today.

The supermarket added: "Bringing together the sweet and tart flavours of strawberry, lemon and rum, this berry nice cocktail will give shoppers a taste of Cuba for under a tenner.

"What’s more, these pre-mixed bottles are a great option to take on the go and land just in time for picnic season."

Both summer products are Aldi Specialbuys, meaning shoppers must be fast to get their hands on them before they're gone.

It comes as the bargain supermarket slashed the price of its Aperol dupe just in time for the bank holiday.

Aldi is stocking 70cl bottles of its Aperini Superiore for £5 instead of £6.49 ahead of the weekend.

It's 70% cheaper than the branded stuff too - a 70cl bottle of Aperol Aperitivo costs £17 at Sainsbury's.

But you'll have to be quick because Aldi is only dropped the price of the Aperol dupe for six days, with the deal running until May 26.

The retailer has also cut the price on its bestselling Costellore Prosecco Spumante DOC to £4.75 from £5.75 too.

And discount hunters can get three bottles of wine for up to 50% off until May 26.
