Aldi Booze Recommendations

[Justjoinedforthis]

Hi All,

I am planning to do a booze run to Aldi to get stuff in for Christmas, and was wondering if anyone has any tips for good products? I'm aiming for some fizz, beers, scotch, soda and coffee liqueur (for espresso martinis). Or anything else fun.

Thanks,

Vodka, not soda!

i can never find coffee liquor there, the caramel and andretto liquors are amazing (we mix with ballycastle)

The fake Baileys is nice.

ALDI sherry and gin are both good!!

Their fancy port (about £13 iirc) is amazing. Also the organic Prosecco, their cheapy Pinot noir and most of the Christmas flavoured gins (not the liquor ones) are really good.

You can also get it all online rather than going to aldi, which is much easier and you don’t have to risk it not being in stock.

On fun, they do a colour changing gin, starts blue and goes pink when mixer is added. I like it.

Cremante de Jura- nicer than Prosecco imo as it’s not too sweet. Think it’s about £7 a bottle in Aldi.

Definitely gin. I also like the gin liquor they have, I drink it with their organic prosecco, which is really nice. As mentioned by pp, order online if you can. I have two aldis nearby and even between the 2 of them I wouldn’t be able to do a proper booze shop because things are always out of stock.

This is lovely!

Both their cremant and their champagne are v good for the prices

Ah thanks everyone, some great stuff. Oh I didn't know they deliver!

For fizz their cava is really nice. The prosecco isn’t bad either but I’d recommend the cava.

I agree about their blag Bailey's! A bargain at under £4!

The Seville orange and lime gin is delicious
Fake Bailey's is great
Their prosecco is lovely.
Buy some decent reds from their £6-8 range and they'll easily pass for a £10-15 one from other places. I've had a couple of corkers from there. One was a rioja and another a malbec

Their spiced plum and clementine gin is INCREDIBLE

Yes to the spiced plum gin. So so good!

Another vote for Cremant de Jura. Prefer this to Prosecco. Saw it in Aldi a couple of days ago. It appears to be seasonal. I’m going to get some soon, as availability tends to be patchy.

Their Baltika non alcoholic beer is the nicest in the market, for the designated driver!

There's a sloe berry gin that's so good. Bought it last few years and hope it's back in this year.

Mix with cloudy lemonade.

Another vote for the Seville Orange and Persian Lime gin. Must try the Spiced Plum one now too.

Organic Prosecco is nice and the fake Baileys is a bargain.

I buy the Amarreto for my cake (soaking fruit/feeding cake/ making marzipan) .
( I don't drink alcohol but I use this to cook)

Cremant D'Alsace - The Times says exactly the same as champagne £8.29 a bottle

Also Organic sparkling Grillo v nice - not as sweet as Prosecco

Thanks very much for all the tips, will make a list. This is making me want a drink now! Bit early.
