If you’re a fan of both fruity dessert and gin then you’re in for a treat because Aldi is about to start selling a liqueur that combines those two things.
The supermarket is set to expand its award-winning gin range with the exclusive launch of Didsbury Gin’s Tutti Frutti Gin Liqueur (£13.99), made in partnership alongside MasterChef champion Simon Wood.
The tipple will be available from 22 August as part of Aldi’s National Spirits Festival and can be enjoyed as a sweet twist on the classic gin and tonic served with a generous slice of pink grapefruit and a twist of orange.
Aldi will be the first supermarket retailer to stock a product from the Manchester-based gin brand Didsbury, which is currently stocked in premium stores including Selfridges and Harvey Nichols.

After securing an investment from Dragon’s Den’s Jenny Campbell, Didsbury Gin developed this exclusive liqueur for Aldi alongside MasterChef Champion Simon Wood, who won the title with his famous Tutti Frutti dessert. Combining the dessert’s fresh lemon and subtle tropical fruit flavours with the Didsbury gin recipe created a bright and citrussy gin liqueur with a delicate, smooth and velvet-like finish.
Simon Wood, MasterChef 2015 Champion, said: "We’ve been big fans of Didsbury Gin from day one at my restaurant Wood Manchester. I love to support local brands and when Liam and Mark asked if I wanted to collaborate with them, I couldn’t wait to make Tutti Frutti into a gin!
Tutti Frutti literally translates as all the fruits. My dessert from the MasterChef final is my very own Citrus Tutti Frutti. It’s made up of all the citrus fruit, lemon, lime, ruby grapefruit, vanilla & passion fruit. A great mix for a really tasty gin."
Aldi’s Didsbury Tutti Frutti Gin Liqueur, priced at £13.99, is available online and in stores nationwide from 22 August.
