Aldi has done it again - the discount supermarket has unleashed another alcoholic creation that's sending shoppers into a frenzy. Their newest offering, a vibrantly pink pineapple gin priced at just £2 per 200ml bottle, is disappearing from shelves almost as quickly as staff can stock them.
The Hunt For The Pink Elixir
Shoppers across the UK are embarking on what's becoming known as "the great pink pineapple gin hunt." Social media platforms are buzzing with posts from triumphant customers showing off their finds, while others share tales of disappointment after visiting multiple stores only to find empty spaces where the colourful bottles should be.
One excited customer raved: "It's absolutely delicious - sweet but not overly so, with that perfect pineapple tang. At £2, it's an absolute steal compared to what you'd pay for similar gins elsewhere."
What Makes This Gin Special?
The gin's vibrant pink hue comes from natural colouring, while the tropical pineapple flavour provides a refreshing alternative to traditional gin botanicals. At 37.5% ABV, it packs enough punch for a proper cocktail while remaining accessible for those who usually find gin too juniper-heavy.
Perfect for summer entertaining, this budget-friendly spirit works beautifully in a variety of serves:
- Mixed with lemonade for a simple, refreshing drink
- Paired with tonic water and a slice of fresh pineapple
- As the base for tropical cocktails
- Simply over ice for those who prefer their gin neat
The Aldi Effect Strikes Again
This isn't the first time Aldi has caused a stir with their alcohol offerings. The supermarket has built a reputation for creating quality spirits at prices that make premium brands nervous. From their award-winning wines to previous gin sensations, Aldi consistently proves that you don't need to spend a fortune to enjoy good drinks.
The pink pineapple gin follows in the footsteps of other Aldi success stories that have seen customers forming queues before stores open and products selling out within hours of hitting shelves.
Should You Join The Hunt?
If you're a fan of flavoured gins or looking for an affordable option for summer gatherings, this £2 wonder might be worth checking your local Aldi for. Just be prepared - you might need to visit several stores or time your shopping perfectly to beat the crowds.
As one seasoned Aldi shopper advised: "Get there early mid-week if you want a chance. By the weekend, it's usually all gone."
