New Asda gin range is inspired by retro sweet shop flavours

Gin lovers are going crazy for Asda's latest alcoholic selection.

The supermarket is now selling a range inspired by retro sweet shop flavours.

When you combine the traditional flavours of Strawberry Laces, Cola Cubes and Rhubarb and Custard with alcohol, you're sure to get a recipe for success, the Liverpool Echo reports.

The new releases include the Extra Special Cola Cube Gin, which has a “magical golden shimmer."

While the Extra Special Rhubarb and Custard Gin has been described as a “perfect balance of sweet and sour”.

Excited customers have been posting about the new drinks, which cost £18 for a 70cl bottle.

Taking to Twitter, one person said: “Asda have cola cube and strawberry laces gin in at the moment apparently! I need to get my little mitts on some!”

Another said: “Couldn’t resist trying new Asda strawberry laces #gin! A perfect combination for my teenage taste palette pretending to be grown up.”

Marion Muir, spirits product development manager at Asda, added: “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.”
