Tesco is now selling Kopparberg passion fruit and orange gin
The drink of the summer…
As warmer weather fast approaches, it seems like an endless stream of fruity, summery drinks are hitting shelves.
We’ve recently had the news of Wetherspoons releasing a Kopparberg strawberry delight cocktail pitcher, and Asda selling Absolute passion fruit vodka.
Well, now we’ve got a bit of a hybrid of these two drinks, with Kopparberg launching a brand new passion fruit and orange flavour gin.
Kopparberg
While the Swedish booze manufacturer is better known for its fruity cider, it did launch strawberry and lime, and mixed fruit gins back in May last year.
According to them, the new exotic flavour is best served with a tonic or lemonade over ice, with a slice of orange on the side.
A 70cl bottle with an ABV of 37.5% will set you back a tasty £20, and it’s currently only available in selected Tesco stores.
Kopparberg haven’t revealed how many stores have the bottles, or where they are, so you best give your local branch a ring to avoid disappointment.

Aldi is now selling a ‘churros with chocolate’ flavoured gin and it looks so good
Get down to your local Aldi immediately
Aldi has knocked it out of the park this week with the launch of their ‘churros with chocolate’ flavoured gin.
Yep, it’s the churros and gin combo you never knew you needed.
Now, there’s no disputing the fact that the combination of churros and melted chocolate is definitely one of the more elite desserts out there – but have you ever envisioned chocolate churros whipped up into an alcoholic treat?

Probably not – but, as always, Aldi is on hand to make your chocolatey-boozy dreams come true.
The Churros with Chocolate Gin Liqueur, made by The Infusionist and stocked by Aldi, was brought to the attention of the internet by the food blogging Instagram account, Kevs Snack Reviews.
Of course, Instagram users were very impressed by the new boozy offering, with one writing: “Need to get it for the next cocktail night,” and another tagging their friend while noting: “We need to get our hands on this one.”

Admittedly, this gin may be a little bit sweet for some, but picture it in a gin espresso martini or as a twist on a pornstar martini.
I’ve convinced you, haven’t I?
Priced at £7.99 the chocolate churros gin liqueur is available both online and in stores, joining the likes of Lemon Drizzle Cake gin liqueur, Raspberry Jam Donut gin liqueur, and Salted Caramel Cupcake gin liqueur.
While the hot weather might have temporarily disappeared another heatwave has been forecast for August so we should be seeing the return of the sun shortly.
And what better to relax in while the sun beams than a hot tub?
Well, Morrisons is currently selling a Lay-Z Spa hot tub for just £275 – and this is the absolute cheapest price you’ll find right now.

Several shoppers have clocked the special deal at their local branches, so it’s worth giving your local a ring to see if they’ve got any in – you’ll have to buy it in-store.
The eagle-eyed members of the Extreme Coupling and Bargains UK Facebook group first spotted the bargains, although availability will depend on your local store.
