Aldi is launching a new and exclusive pink liqueur gin made with MasterChef winner Simon Wood.
The Didsbury Gin’s Tutti Frutti Gin has an incredible sweet yet fruity flavour, making it perfect for summer cocktails - and at only £13.99 a bottle it's affordable too.
The budget chain is the first supermarket to stock the Manchester-based gin brand, which is currently only available to buy from upmarket department stores Selfridges and Harvey Nichols .
Bottles of the tipple will arrive in Aldi stores across the UK from 22 August, and will probably be snapped up fast by eager shoppers ahead of the long Bank holiday weekend.
Didsbury Gin developed the exclusive liqueur for Aldi alongside MasterChef Champion Simon Wood, who won the title with his famous Tutti Frutti dessert.
The new gin, which boasts zesty citrus flavours and smooth, sweet finish, will also form part of the chain's award-winning booze line up and first ever National Spirits Festival.
It is also the perfect sweet twist on a classic gin and tonic served with a generous slice of pink grapefruit and a twist of orange.
Or shoppers can go all out and create a delicious Tutti Frutti Spritz by mixing the gin with Aldi’s bestselling Organic Prosecco (£7.99) and fresh grapefruit juice.
Speaking about the new launch, Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said “As flavoured gin shows no signs of slowing down, we’re thrilled to be partnering with Didsbury Gin to bring shoppers more unique flavour combinations like Simon Wood’s MasterChef winning dessert, Tutti Frutti.
"This innovative new addition to our gin range reflects our commitment to ensuring our customers enjoy the best quality products, without breaking the bank.”
Simon Wood, MasterChef 2015 Champion, added "We’ve been big fans of Didsbury Gin from day one at my restaurant Wood Manchester. I love to support local brands and when Liam and Mark asked if I wanted to collaborate with them, I couldn’t wait to make Tutti Frutti into a gin.
"Tutti-Frutti literally translates as all the fruits. My dessert from the MasterChef final is my very own Citrus Tutti-Frutti. It’s made up of all the citrus fruit, lemon, lime, ruby grapefruit, vanilla & passion fruit. A great mix for a really tasty gin."
