Asda’s new summer gins taste just like sweet shop favourites

Fancy a traipse down memory lane? If you’ve got a sweet tooth and your top tipple is gin, Asda is here to save your summer with a triple whammy launch of new flavoured gin.

The three new flavours are inspired by those classic sweets that you would typically find in the sweet shops of our childhoods: think strawberry laces, rhubarb and custard and cola cubes.

They’re part of Asda’s Extra Special range and are perfect for impressing friends and family at summer BBQs, picnics and evening drinks.

Choose from Extra Special Strawberry Laces Gin, Extra Special Cola Cube Gin and Extra Special Rhubarb and Custard Gin for a nostalgic twist on a classic G&T.

The cola and strawberry laces contain edible glitter, giving them an extra sparkle that will make them stars of the show in more ways than one.

Marion Muir, Sprits Product Development Manager at Asda comments: “Novelty gins have become a summer essential for our customers who love to try innovative and wonderful flavours. The new range has been created to ensure the gins are both delicious to drink yet also dazzling to look at, delivering popular flavours we know the nation loves, and at a great price point too.”

They join other sweet flavours at Asda, such as Extra Special Lemon Sherbet Gin, Extra Special Pear Drop Gin and Extra Special Parma Violet Gins.

The 70cl bottles are on sale right now and cost £18 a pop.
