‘We need a girly drinking night’ say shoppers after spotting a limited edition pink tipple – it’s a must for Galentine’s
SHOPPERS have been sent into a frenzy after spotting a brand new pink bevvy that's perfect for celebrating Galentine's with your besties.
The popular supermarket Aldi has launched a limited edition tipple that's similar to Bailey's - but a whopping 56 per cent cheaper.
Aldi's very own Ballycastle Raspberry Ripple, which sells for £7.49, is thought to be a budget-friendly alternative to posh Baileys Eton Mess Irish Cream that's selling for around £17 at other supermarkets.
This pink beverage, which is perfect for both Galentine's, as well as Mother's Day that's around the corner, is ''a delicious take on a British classic dessert, Eton Mess'' - and it's a must if you love sweet and juciy berries.
''A combination of double cream, lusciously sweet raspberry and rich vanilla flavours creates an indulgently smooth treat, also perfect for gifting,'' the bargain retailer wrote in the product's description online.
Fancy treating your friends and family with a mouth-watering cocktail? Aldi have also shared the ultimate recipe for foodies to try out.

Food lover Mia, @yorkshirelassinnewcastle, took to TikTok to inform other shoppers about the fabulous find and the video has already racked up over 80k views in just one day.
''Manifesting this goes on your boyfriend's/girlfriend's For Your Page for Valentine's,'' chuckled the customer, who had visited the branch based in Kingston Park.
Dozens raced to comments, where one tagged their pals, saying: ''We need a girly drinking night.''
''Omg, I need it,'' another chimed in.
''Oh, we need to start hunting,'' someone else told their friend.
