We all love a cheeky tipple over the Christmas period, right? And there’s nothing better than showing off our ‘mixologist’ skills to friends and family – especially during dinner parties on New Year’s Eve!
Well back by popular demand, Aldi is now serving up premium cocktails without the fuss – and just in time of the festive season, and for less than you think.
Shoppers will be delighted to see, and get their hands on the Infusionist Ready-to-Drink cocktails range – which are in stores now.
Offering quirky twists on classic cocktails, our mouth is watering at the thought of a Salted Caramel Espresso Martini, Chili & Lime Margarita, plus the latest flavour added to the mix (literally), Passionfruit & Pineapple Martini.
Each tipple has been perfectly balanced to literally taste as good as the bartender would make down the local pub or cocktail hotspot.
All you need to do is add a little ice and maybe a garnish for that finishing touch – then voila, prepare to dazzle your guests with ease.
Best of all? Each 50cl bottle will set you back a pocket-friendly £9.99 – which is £9 cheaper than the ‘Marksologist’ range at Marks and Spencer, setting you back £19 for the same sized bottle (but the Amaretto Sour is one you should get your hands on from M&S, asap).

Now back to those Ready-To-Drink cocktails… Well the Salted Caramel Espresso Martini is perfect for coffee lovers, and those who can’t resist something a little sweet (and salted) post dinner. Blended with vodka, smooth coffee and salty caramel sweetness – we really think this could be our Boxing Day, afternoon delight.
For those of us who still sip on summery drinks, even when it’s -2 degrees, then the Chili & Lime Margarita is for you – and our personal fave. You’ll find zesty lime blended with a hint of chilli for a fiery kick, and sure to delight those of us who can’t resist a citrus cocktail. And, it’s worth noting that it’s 47% cheaper than the M&S Verdita Margarita, priced at £19.
As for the latest beverage to join the lineup, the Passionfruit & Pineapple Martini sounds like a very, Merry tipple that would add a smile to the family Grinch for sure. With notes of juicy passionfruit and zingy pineapple, this of this as a more elevated version of the classic Pornstar Martini. Leave the Prosecco to the Bellinis and just add half a passionfruit as a garnish.
So what are you waiting for? We can’t imagine they’ll be on shelves and in stores for long – so get your hands on them whilst you still can.
As always, when consuming alcohol, you must drink responsibly – and never put yourself or others in danger.
Sip, sip, horray!
