Shoppers can find this beloved Baileys dupe in Aldi's stores now.

Aldi shoppers will have to wait a little longer to try Ballycastle's new Cookie Dough Ice Cream Country Cream, which is set to hit store shelves on June 26.
The discount supermarket's dupe is nearly £15 cheaper than Tesco's Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur Bottle - scanning at the tills for £22.25.
It comes after Aldi shoppers rushed to their local branch to snap up a brand new Baileys duplicate that's a whopping 50 per cent cheaper than the real thing.
Aldi 'I tried it, it's so good', foodies racing to snap up a posh festive tipple that's just £6.99 - and it's a must if you love chocolate
The budget supermarket is set to put the "delicious" bargain drink on sale in its stores from March 30.
One keen-eyed shopper spotted the deal for Ballycastle's Cream Chocolate Honeycomb Liqueur on Aldi's website, sharing it to a group on Facebook.
The post showed a picture of the product on the site, alongside the caption: "Is anyone excited about this?
"I am - looks delicious".
The 700ml drink is currently listed at the incredible price of just £7.99.
In comparison, Baileys can typically sell for us much as £17, with this price being seen currently at Sainsbury's.
This means you can save more than 50 per cent by buying this alternative honeycomb drink.
Its product listing states: "A blend of double cream, alcohol and flavourings."
The country cream "limited edition" drink is produced in Northern Ireland and has an alcohol content of 12 per cent.
Fans were quick to share how excited they were to buy the product ahead of its sale on Sunday.
One said: "I'll have to look into that".
Another added: "Might buy a few".
A third exclaimed: "I so want to try this one".
Others also recalled the previous alternative versions of the drink they had enjoyed, including a "raspberry ripple" flavour.
Aldi's Baileys dupes over the years
Ballycastle Stout Flavour Country Cream:
Aldi launched a Guinness inspired Irish cream earlier this year, just in time for St Patrick's Day this month.
It boasted a "luxuriously smooth, creamy texture with prominent malt notes balanced by the subtle sweetness of Irish cream", the retailer revealed.
The retailer added: "It's a sophisticated sip that's perfect for after-dinner indulgence or mixing into a celebratory cocktail."
Ballycastle Country Cream:
A direct duplicate of the classic Baileys flavour, this drink has seen its price drop to as low as just £4.49 a bottle in the past.
The drink describes itself as an "elegant, Irish tipple" and promises its drinkers a rich, chocolate and vanilla creaminess.
With "toffee undertones", the sweet finish derives from the aptly-named Golden Vale region in Ireland.
Ballycastle Chocolate Crème:
This delectable alcoholic drink was inspired by the much-loved Cadbury Creme Eggs treat.
The drink is described as "a deliciously smooth, Irish Cream blend with delicate hints of chocolate and sweet vanilla."
Specially Selected Luxury Edition, Irish Cream Liqueur:
King of the big-brand dupes, Aldi does a great job at an alcoholic imitation of the most well-known name in Irish Cream, with this caramel-like, creamy tipple, getting the balance of booze with rich cream and flavour just right.
It's almost there as a comparison in the glass, just let down by a little oiliness on the finish.
Ballycastle S'mores Country Cream:
Launched in time for Christmas last year, this funky drink combined rich chocolate and biscuit flavours with hints of vanilla and fluffy marshmallow.
Aldi added: "This nostalgic tipple is guaranteed to ignite shoppers' tastebuds – just simply enjoy neat over ice or enjoy as part of an indulgent s'mores-tail."

Aldi middle aisle to launch summer fan that's a huge £300 cheaper than Dyson's within days – here's the exact date
Scroll down for some tips on how to keep cool in the heat SO HOT Aldi middle aisle to launch summer fan that's a huge £300 cheaper than Dyson's within days – here's the exact date ALDI is launching the perfect gadget to keep you cool this summer - and it's £300 cheaper than a similar Dyson product. With temperatures soaring again this weekend many will be making plans to get outside and bask in the heat. Advertisement 3 Aldi has the perfect gadget to keep you cool this summer 3 The Aldi fan is priced at £39.99 Credit: Aldi 3 Dyson's offering costs over £300 more Credit: Dyson However, for those who prefer chillier temperatures, Aldi has the perfect bargain buy to cool you down. Fans are a great way to keep you cool, and are super cheap to run. Landing in stores on Thursday, June 5th, Aldi's sell-out Bladeless Fan and Air Cooler is perfect for penny-pinchers. The purse-friendly buy is priced at just £39.99, and features a sleek and minimalistic design. Advertisement It has three different speed settings, from low to high and has three different modes, normal, nature and sleep, to suit your every need. The nifty gadget also oscillates to ensure the whole room is cooled down, and is super easy to control, thanks to the digital touchpad and remote control. And the budget supermarket is also selling an air cooler, for days when a fan just won't cut it. Aldi said: "Stay comfortable this summer with Aldi's sell-out Air Cooler (£39.99), that uses evaporative cooling technology for an affordable solution to chilling out – simply add water to the 5.5L tank to circulate cool air. Advertisement "Featuring three speed levels, a 0-12-hour timer, remote control, LED light display, four ice boxes and automatic air-swing, it's the ideal alternative to pricey air conditioning." The bargain buys will be located in the middle aisle of Aldi stores, as part of its Specialbuys range. I tried Aldi's Dyson airwrap dupe at bargain price - and it gave me easy hair salon look However, shoppers better be quick if they want to snap up the bargain since, as with all Specialbuys, once they're gone, they're gone. The Aldi fan is a whopping £300 cheaper than Dyson's Cool Tower Fan, which is currently on sale at Curry's for £349.99. Advertisement The Dyson fan has many similar features to the Aldi buy, but comes with an impressive 10 speed settings. Dyson said: "The bladeless Dyson AM07 Tower Fan with Air Multiplier technology keeps your room constantly refreshed, with low noise and energy emissions." Rival supermarket Lidl also has a bladeless fan landing in stores in the coming days. How to keep cool in hot weather Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. The Silvercrest bladeless desk fan, is cheaper than Aldi's offering, and is priced at £29.99. Advertisement It has 10 different speeds which can cope with everything from mild heat to blazing sunshine. The manufacturer says another benefit of the gadget is it's simplicity – no blades means it is very easy to clean. There are other bonuses too – as it is bladeless, there is no risk of injury. The fan also has an impressive LED display which allows the fan's speed settings and the timer to be easily visible at night or throughout the day.
