Yes, the budget retailer now has its own version, and of course it comes with an Aldi price tag.

The one thing I did think would improve the aesthetic appeal of the bottle is the colour of the light; it's quite a harsh orange shade that isn’t as soft as the M&S one.

Mixed with lemonade the gin was very smooth and flavourful, so much so that it was almost too easy to drink. If you're looking for an easy Christmas present for Secret Santa this is ideal, the bottles light up and can be reused afterwards. Snow globe gins are all the rage, with edible gold lead it makes drinks feel that bit more glamourous.If there's one thing that we all love in the run up to Christmas, it's all the festive food and drink on sale.
