Available now in over 280 Morrisons stores across the UK, the 1.5-litre cocktail boxes are priced at £15 each – or just £12 with a More Card.
That works out at as little as £1.20 per serving, offering premium drinks at pocket-friendly prices.
Each box contains ten ready-to-drink servings and includes a tap-style spout for easy pouring, making it an ideal option for hassle-free entertaining.
It's also the first time shoppers can get premium 'on tap' cocktails from a UK supermarket – a format that's proven popular in bars and pubs.
A spokesperson for Morrisons said: 'We know our customers love a summer get-together, and this exclusive partnership with The Drinks Bureau means they can enjoy top-quality cocktails at a great price.
"It's convenience without compromising on taste.'
The initial launch includes crowd-pleasing favourites such as Mojito, Passion Fruit Martini, and Cosmopolitan – classic flavours that are set to be a hit at any summer event.
Another blast from the past is returning, this time to pub taps around the country.
For the first time ever, nostalgic favourite Hooch will be available on draught, offering a fresh way to enjoy the lemony tipple that first rose to fame in the '90s.
The original Lemon Hooch – a fruity vodka-based alcopop with real fruit juice and 3.4% ABV – is hitting pubs, clubs, and arenas across the UK.
Usually sold in bottles and cans, it will now be served on draught for around £5.50 to £5.95 a pint, depending on the venue.
Jacob Barrett, brand manager for Hooch, said: "Launching Hooch on draught is a landmark moment for the brand as we celebrate 30 iconic years.
"This isn't just a new format, it's a bold new era for Hooch, designed for longer, more sociable summer serves and promises to bring something refreshingly different to the T-bar."
The full list of locations has yet to be revealed, but Hooch has promised to announce where you can grab a pint of nostalgia soon via its social media.
The return of Hooch on tap comes as a wave of 90s drinks make their way back into the spotlight.
Bacardi Breezers are also returning to supermarket shelves after being discontinued in the UK, much to the delight of fans.
Meanwhile, Gen Z has been going mad for Buzzballz – round, colourful cocktail drinks that are set to hit Aldi shelves at their lowest-ever price.
It seems retro drinks are having a major comeback.
Morrisons has also launched three new bottled cocktails in-store, with flavours including Bliss on the Beach, Cosmo, and Passion Fruit Martini.
Each 75cl bottle is available for £6, or two for £10 – offering even more value for summer sipping.
Not to be outdone, Schweppes has introduced a new line of ready-to-drink alcoholic cocktails in sleek 250ml cans.
Their Gin Twist and Paloma Bliss flavours are priced at £2.29 each and are perfect for picnics, festivals or a refreshing treat on the go.
Aldi is also getting in on the action with its latest range of ready-to-drink cocktail cans.
With 13 new flavours and prices starting at just 99p, it's a budget-friendly way to stock up your summer drinks fridge.
How to save money buying alcohol
Alcohol can be pricey if you're planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs.
It's always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price.
Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz.
The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter.
If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers.
Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as pricerunner.com or trolley.co.uk.
Don't forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too.
If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You'll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile.

Morrisons makes major change to supermarkets customers will notice in stores now
The supermarket is aiming to "shine a light" on an important issue. Morrisons has announced this week that it will be implementing a significant change across its stores in a bid to "shine a light" on a crucial cause. The supermarket chain has revealed plans to turn one in four of its products yellow, along with its baskets, trolleys, café chairs and car parking spaces, to boost awareness for the charity Marie Curie. This new campaign, which kicked off on Monday, July 28, will see numerous Morrisons products and facilities adopting a daffodil yellow hue as part of its 'Every Pack Gives Back' scheme, reports the Manchester Evening News. The alterations aim to generate funds for Marie Curie through promotional items being bought by shoppers as part of Morrisons' pledge to raise £15million for the charity. David Scott, Corporate Affairs Director at Morrisons, explained: "We want to shine a light on the importance of end of life care and so turning one in four of our baskets, trolleys, café chairs, and even car parking spaces yellow is a simple but powerful way to start a national conversation about something that affects us all. "In the coming weeks, Morrisons customers can help raise vital money for Marie Curie by buying a promotional 'Every Pack Gives Back' - the brand will then donate a percentage of the sale price to the charity." Morrisons shoppers will be able spot a sea of new yellow packaging on promotional items such as Innocent Orange Juice, Pampers Nappies, and Soreen Malt Loaf as they browse the aisles. From next week, these yellow packaged goods will also be available to online customers, with the store's website set to feature them from Monday, August 4. The promotion is scheduled to run until August 28. Morrisons has pledged that for each item sold under the 'Every Pack Gives Back' campaign, a portion of the proceeds will go to Marie Curie. A variety of products including Morrisons food-to-go sandwiches, London Essence Indian Tonic Water, and MOJU Ginger Vitality Dosing Bottle Shots, along with seasonal aisle selections, will don a special 'Every Pack Gives Back' label, making it easier for consumers to spot and support this charitable cause. Marie Curie's Chief Executive, Matthew Reed, commented: "Far too many people are still dying without the care and support they need. What's more, we've seen demand for our services increase significantly in recent years, with a growing gap between those needing end of life care and those who receive it." He further stated: "Through our partnership with Morrisons, we're aiming to help more local communities and families receive the best end of life care possible, whatever the illness, wherever they are." Morrisons has also announced that it will be selling a limited edition Bag for Life throughout August, in addition to launching a Marie Curie branded grocery delivery van, hosting in-store fundraising events and volunteer-led collections. The More Card app will also turn yellow to highlight the fundraising efforts. This follows Morrisons' recent update to its loyalty scheme, allowing More Card members to convert their weekly shopping points into a monetary donation to Marie Curie. With the updated More Card feature, customers can now donate their points to the charity via the More Card App or More Website, with 1,000 points equating to a £1 donation. These initiatives follow Morrisons' announcement that it has already raised £2.6m for Marie Curie since the inception of their partnership with the charity in November 2024.

Morrisons new member feature sees lucky shoppers win free shopping for a year
Morrisons More card holders have until August 25 to win a bunch of weekly prizes. Membership cards have become a vital way for supermarkets to entice their regular shoppers into coming back to do their weekly shops. With exclusive prices, points that can be spent at a later date and first bids on deals, many shoppers across the UK have at least one membership card for a major supermarket. For those who are fans of shopping at Morrisons and have access to the More Card app, a fun new feature has just been launched, which could see lucky shoppers win free shopping for a whole year. Named the Wheel of Prizes, this feature gives More Card users the chance to win a prize every week when they spend £10 or more online or in store. However, shoppers will need to be quick to start earning prices as the giveaways are only available until August 25. By spinning the wheel once a week on the More Card app, shoppers will gain access to prizes such as extra points and free products, reports the Mirror. However, the ultimate prize that shoppers are hoping to get their hands on is the free shopping for a whole year. And chances are quite high as each week seven Morrison shoppers are able to win the prize, which is worth £3,000. Those who don't have the More Card app will also get a chance to take part in the latest feature as Wheel of Prizes coupons will be handed out at the till. However, it should be noted that the spend limit does not include shops purchased at Morrisons Daily convenience stores, Amazon or Deliveroo. Gareth Lloyd, director of loyalty at Morrisons, said: "Wheel of Prizes is all about adding a bit of joy to our customers' weekly shop. "Whether it is discovering a free treat or landing the ultimate prize of a year's worth of groceries, we wanted to create something fun, surprising and rewarding for our More Card members. "It's our way of saying thank you to More Card members for choosing Morrisons." For those curious about the Morrison More Card, members are able to earn five More points on products when they scan their card either online or in store. Once a member has reached 5,000 points they will receive a Morrisons Fiver. This reward is worth £5 which shoppers can use both online or in store during a future shop. On top of this, More Card holders also gain access to personalised discounts. The launch of the Wheel of Prizes comes after Morrisons revealed it has created More Partner Points for customers who regularly shop at certain retailers. This service means that members can earn even more points when shopping with over 300 participating brands, such as Just Eat, Expedia, Very, eBay and ASOS. These More Partner Points can be accessed by logging into the Morrisons More app or website., where shoppers can then browse a variety of retailers. From there, shoppers' More Points are tracked and automatically added to their Morrisons account. However, to make sure shoppers get their points, they need to make their purchases through the Morrisons More app or website to be applicable. While many shoppers will be excited about these new features available on the Morrisons More app, they may also be shocked and disappointed about the closures surrounding the supermarket brand. Morrisons has announced the closure of 17 of its smaller Morrison Daily stores, as well as 35 meat counters. The list doesn't end there as a further 35 fish counters have also been closed, along with 52 in-store cafes, all 18 Market Kitchens, 13 florists and four pharmacies.
