Gin is most definitely in. But how do you keep up with the lavish costs of your refined palette?

Hendricks gin is a firm, long-standing favourite among gin lovers, known for its gentle, springtime infusion of rose petal and cucumber.

However, this premium brand doesn’t alway fit quite so smoothly with our monthly budgets; with bottles selling for £28 at supermarket giants Tesco and Asda.

With many of us splashing out on last minute holidays, this kind of ‘special occasion’ sum doesn’t always cut the mustard.

Luckily, Aldi has really stepped up; distilling a bottle which looks – and reportedly tastes – very much like the real deal.

Although, in the case of Harrison’s Cucumber Gin, you only need to fork out £15.99 for a 70cl bottle.

According to a press release from Aldi, Harrison’s Cucumber Gin is ‘a gin filled with distinct aroma of orange and spice with a tangy, sweet orange and citrus finish.’

Much like Hendricks, the ABV is about 41 per cent. It also comes in a very handsome lookalike bottle, which should make a very nice addition to your kitchen shelf.

Harrison’s Cucumber Gin has been released alongside various other new gins, as part of Aldi’s bang-on-trend Gin Festival.

According to Aldi:

As the country’s thirst for gin continues to grow, Aldi is launching a host of delicious new products to its range, in its first ever National Summer Gin Festival.

Available from 26th July, the festival will see 10 new gins hit Aldi’s shelves, including three unique small batch products, each with a unique heritage.

What’s more, the supermarket is also providing everything you need to enjoy the perfect gin at home, with a wide selection of glassware, tonics and garnishes to compliment the extended spirits range.

The new gins sit alongside Aldi’s multi-award-winning Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin (£9.99) and Topaz Blue Premium Gin (£13.99), creating a wealth of choice in time for the long summer nights ahead.

Bargain hunters are delighted by Aldi’s contribution to the current, glorious gin-aissance, taking to social media in appreciation of this brand new collection.

One person advised a pal:

Get to Aldi mate from this Thursday… gin galore.

Another shrieked:

Honestly there’s so much on gin lately I have major FOMO! (Also did you see Aldi are doing a gin special buys????) [sic]

Aldi really are fast becoming serious players in the world of gin, with their Irish Boyle’s Gin being awarded a prestigious gold medal at The Gin Masters, 2018.

Furthermore, their well loved Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin (£9.99) has been voted as one of the best gins in the world – for the second year running – by the International Spirits Challenge (ISC).

You can get your mitts on a bottle of Harrison’s Cucumber Gin from July 26, 2018 onwards. What a refreshing deal.
