‘Trop it like it’s hot’ Aldi releases brand new flavour of cult Baileys dupe that’s perfect for the warmer weather
HAVE you got a garden party coming up? Then this brand new tipple from Aldi is a must.
Aldi have long been known for their delicious beverages and signature Ballycastle range which is thought to be a dupe for the cult favourite Baileys.
Earlier last year, in December, the popular discount supermarket launched a posh festive tipple that's a must for all the chocolate lovers out there.
With Easter just around the corner, Aldi have also delighted its fans with an Irish cream that tastes just like a Cadbury Creme Egg -and now, there's a brand new flavour joining the ever-growing collection.
That's right, according to the retailer, who recently shared their Specialbuys for this week, shoppers can now get their hands on a Piña Colada-inspired bevvy.
Aldi's Ballycastle Colada, which sells for an affordable £7.49, is essentially a beach holiday in a bottle - and it's the perfect way to welcome the warmer Spring and Summer season that's fast approaching.

Offering a tropical combination of sweet pineapple and creamy coconut, this limited-edition treat is an indulgent take on the popular cocktail classic, the Piña Colada.
The tipple, which comes in a chic golden bottle with a flower print, is available in stores now, while stocks last - so if you want to give it a go, best be quick to avoid any disappointment.
You can sip it on its own - or make a refreshing and tropical cocktail with it, and this Baileys recipe can easily be replaced with the Aldi's version.
For this, you will need:
- 50ml Balleycastle Colada
- Ice Cubes
- Pineapple Chunks (can be frozen)
- Slices of pineapple to garnish
- Fruit juice and crushed/ chopped coconut
- Crushed/ chopped coconut
Simply add the tipple, ice cubes and pineapple chunks to a blender and blend it up until it’s smooth.
If you like your drinks extra creamy, you could even add some coconut milk at this stage - or some lime for a little zing.
Once the cocktail is ready, it's time to serve it in a glass. Dip the rim of the glass into a small amount of fruit juice and sprinkle the crushed coconut onto the juice.
Garnish with fresh slices of pineapple - and enjoy!
