The supermarket has slashed 40 percent off - it's the lowest price yet.
The rollback will begin on May 22 and 70cl bottles will be just £9.98, down from £17.08.
And for bigger parties, there's also a deal on the one-litre bottles for £17.14 down from £21.14.
No loyalty cards are needed to pick up this bargain, and that's not all.
Customers will be treated to a free reversible Aperol bucket hat.
To make the perfect Aperol Spritz, use the 3-2-1 rule: three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol and one part soda water.
Add some ice and an orange slice, and sit back and enjoy your tipple in the sunshine.
The one-litre deal runs until May 24 and the 70cl ends on May 28.
Despite the three-day weekend looking like a washout, Aperol cocktails can still be enjoyed from the comfort of your home.
Perhaps invite the family over for lunch, or have the girls over for a catch up - both are the perfect pairing for the zesty drink.
If the bittersweet thirst-quencher isn't your bag, Asda is also dishing out the deals on another summer staple: Pimms.
One-litre bottles of the infused gin are £9.98, down from £13.48 - that's a saving of 26 percent.
The Pimm's promo will end on May 28.
Elsewhere, Aldi is selling Prosecco for just £4.99 a bottle - a vital Aperol Spritz ingredient.
Shoppers can purchase the discount retailer's Italian Prosecco DOCG at a whopping 38 per cent discount from today.
But you'll have to be quick as the offer is only available in stores until May 25.
The 75cl bottles are described as having "vibrant notes of crisp apple and pear, complemented by delicate floral aromas".
What's more, the supermarket is extending its savings to its still wine range.
This includes their Animus Douro and their South African Sauvignon Blank with prices starting from just £3.99 a bottle.
The Douro red is described as offering "warm red fruit and spicy aromas".
It delivers notes of plums and cedar, pairs with pizza, chicken, pasta and is available for just £4.99, a 25 per cent discount.
Whereas their South African Sauvignon Blanc sees a massive 33% discount at £3.99.
For that price, you can enjoy "citrus fruits, with zesty lime and lemon zest, followed by hints of freshly cut grass and green bell pepper".

Inside Henco Venter's Glasgow Warriors exit and a special Scotstoun moment

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... It's hard to think of an overseas player who has become so popular so quickly in Scotland as Henco Venter. Glasgow Warriors supporters have taken the South African forward to their hearts and serenaded him on Friday night in what turned out to be his Scotstoun swan-song. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It was a moving experience for Venter as he came off in the 72nd minute of the victory over the Stormers which kept his team's bid to win the United Rugby Championship for the second year in a row very much alive. Departing Glasgow Warriors forward Henco Venter is a hugely popular figure with the club's supporters. | SNS Group No club has done that before but Glasgow are now through to the semi-finals, thanks in no small measure to another outstanding performance from their No 8 and cult hero, who scored a try in the 36-18 victory. Alas, a parting of the ways is imminent. Venter is off to France next season to play in the second-tier ProD2. It was announced in March that he would be joining Brive and the news of his departure was a source of regret for Franco Smith as well as the club's fans. The Glasgow Warriors coach wanted him to stay and while he acknowledged that the player had received a very good offer from Brive, 'other factors came into play'. The chief one being 'a movement in the direction of having less foreigners' in Scottish rugby. Venter, who arrived in Glasgow from the Sharks in summer 2023 and has played 35 times for the club, hopes he has two more games left. The Warriors travel to Dublin to take on Leinster in the URC semis on Saturday and the final is scheduled for the following weekend. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He wanted to remain at Glasgow but accepts there is a desire within Murrayfield to try to bring through more homegrown talent. Venter will be joined out the exit door by compatriot JP du Preez and Argentinian winger Sebastian Cancelliere. The appointment by Scottish Rugby last August of performance director David Nucifora was designed 'to provide a roadmap for its next decade of player development'. Being South African and 33, Venter isn't perhaps a poster boy for Nucifora's brave new world - but his contribution to Glasgow's success shouldn't be underestimated. He played a big part in last season's stunning URC triumph and has also been credited by Smith with an important role in helping bring through young Warriors players like Jack Mann and Euan Ferrie. He has also been a vital team cog during international windows when Glasgow have been without their large Scotland contingent. For Venter, it will be tough to leave. Henco Venter poses with the URC trophy after Glasgow's win over the Bulls in the final at Loftus Versfeld. | SNS Group 'With Scotland taking the route, as you all know, of less foreign players I wanted to stay but they all made their rules to make Scotland directly better - I respect it,' he said. 'It's one of those things, it's rugby. You just go to the next thing, stuff happens and you just keep going forward and make yourself better.' No-one could blame Venter for looking elsewhere when no offer of a new Glasgow contract was forthcoming but circumstances seemed to have worked against the player. The focus was on negotiating new deals for the club's frontline Scotland players such as Sione Tuipulotu, George Horne, Zander and Matt Fagerson, Kyle Steyn and Stafford McDowall, whose value had increased on the back of their URC success. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Approaching the final months of his contract, Venter would have been understandably concerned about his future and the offer from Brive was undeniably attractive. Nevertheless, he will leave Glasgow with a heavy heart. The reception he received from the home support on Friday had a profound effect on him, all the more so because so many of his family and friends were either at Scotstoun or watching back home in South Africa. 'You'd never think that would happen,' Venter said of the ovation he received as the supporters sang his name. 'I actually didn't know what to do. It was special, very special. I appreciate it a lot. I didn't expect it and to receive something like that is one of the highlights of my career. Henco Venter, with ball, scores Glasgow Warriors' third try during the URC quarter-final win over the Stormers at Scotstoun as Kyle Steyn celebrates. | SNS Group 'My [immediate] family was here [at Scotstoun] and it was televised in South Africa so my whole family saw it. All the people living on our street were also here, all our neighbours.' Venter's imminent departure also means he is splitting again from Smith, his coach and long-time mentor. The pair had success together in South Africa before lifting silverware with Glasgow Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'It's the second time that we've parted ways and it's not easier than the first time,' said Venter. 'Luckily we're not done. There's another game to go and then if we're successful, there's another one.' The game against the Stormers was Venter's first since returning from a six-game suspension for making contact with the eye of England prop Dan Cole during the win over Leicester in the Champions Cup in early April. It means he missed both of Glasgow's recent defeats by Leinster, the 52-0 hammering in Europe and the narrow 13-5 loss in the URC. If they are to prolong their season beyond this weekend they are going to have to find a way to win in Dublin. It's not been a happy place for Glasgow but Venter feels the Warriors are rediscovering their form and if they can match their hosts' formidable physicality they can progress to the final once again. 'Teams go through a bit of a dip here and there but I think after the weekend everyone's dialled in and everyone's ready to go again,' he said. 'We are prepared to sacrifice everything to win.

The upcoming console has a bigger screen, new games and more built-in features. ‌ Fans have reported that pre-ordering has been a struggle, leading some to have to take their chances and wait for stores to offer consoles for general sale. Asda might be a good place for Nintendo gamers to secure the console, which is undoubtedly going to be popular. ‌ The supermarket announced that it would be offering the Mario Kart World Bundle for £429.98 from launch day. The new Mario Kart World is an exclusive Switch 2 title that is filled with the same hilarious racing mayhem that fans of the franchise have come to know and love. The console will be available online at once stock arrives in-store. Alternatively, shop the console bundle in selected Asda locations (listed below) from Thursday, June 5, while stocks last.

On the official Nintendo website, the Nintendo Switch 2 can be pre-ordered by Nintendo Switch Online members for £395.99.

Spain bar shootings: Who was Glasgow man Ross Monaghan?

It was inevitable that, as the Lyons family climbed the ladder of organised crime, Monaghan would become a key lieutenant, his relationship with Eddie and Steven said to be 'like that of brothers'. However, while most involved in such high level crime operate under the radar, Monaghan, who grew up just outside Glasgow, found his name in the headlines after he was arrested his late 20s over one of Scotland's most notorious gangland slayings. READ NEXT: Spanish tourists' on Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan shooting READ NEXT: Ex-top cop on catalyst for Scotland's gang war after Spain shootings (Image: Kevin Carroll) In January 2010, Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll, a feared enforcer for the rival Daniel clan, attended a meeting with associates in the carpark of the Asda superstore in Robroyston, Glasgow. There, he met drug dealer Stephen Glen, who was linked to the Lyons family and, a court later heard, Carroll told him: 'You're working for me now. Anybody that doesn't fall into line is going to get banged.' The Gerbil was then sitting in the back of a black Audi A3 in the supermarket carpark when a Volkswagen Golf swerved to a halt in front of the vehicle as horrified shoppers looked on. Two masked men emerged from the Golf and opened fire, through the passenger windows, with Carroll shot 13 times in the head and chest in an attack that lasted 25 seconds. Despite the murder being one of the most audacious and outrageous gangland hits ever carried out in Scotland, the police initially met with a wall of silence. But eight months after the shooting, 2010 Monaghan was arrested. His partner would give birth to their daughter just 10 days later.

The so-called Osman Warnings, named after a London shooting victim, are only issued when police intelligence suggests an individual faces a credible threat to their life. The murder trial followed, only for Monaghan to be sensationally acquitted in May 2012 after a judge ruled there was insufficient evidence to convict him. At the time Monaghan said: 'It's been a nightmare. I'm glad to get this over. I've always said it was nothing to do with me.' (Image: Billy Paterson Police Scotland) Another Lyons clan associate, Billy Paterson, 45, was convicted of the killing in 2015 and sentenced to 22 years in prison. (Image: Police after Penilee shooting on Ross Monaghan) (Image: Police after Penilee shooting on Ross Monaghan) (Image: Police after Penilee shooting on Ross Monaghan) (Image: Forensic officers after Penilee shooting on Ross Monaghan) Two years after that, Monaghan was shot in the shoulder outside a Glasgow primary school after dropping his child off. The gunman was pushing a child's buggy when he opened fire on Muirdykes Road in Penilee. Monaghan, then 35, was discharged from hospital after treatment for a shoulder wound. Police spoke of their disgust at the shooting being carried out next to a busy nursery and two associates of the Daniel clan were charged. Both would be cleared of the attack at a trial but were later convicted for other organised crime offences. Monaghan, 43, is believed to have moved to Spain a couple of years after the school shooting, and is understood to have become involved in business interests in the Costa del Sol, including the pub on the beachfront bearing his name. It would be the location where, alongside decades-long friend Eddie Lyons jnr, he would meet a merciless end on Saturday night.
