The Morrison's bottles are half the price of pre-mixed cocktails from big drink brands.
They also provide a cheaper option than buying each ingredient of the cocktails to make.
Morrisons' Party Drinks Buyer, Harry Barker, said: 'With the weather getting warmer and days getting longer, we hope these fruity new additions to Morrisons alcohol offering will be a fun and refreshing accompaniment to any summer event."

Sharing a video of her summery accessories on @thecountryreno, she wrote: "This year is the year of our garden, after 18 months living here we are now ready to start making her ready for guests and entertaining, BBQs and sundowners. "Our table was a Facebook marketplace bargain last year for £100 too, and now I'm headed to B&M with £100 to see if I could make something beautiful."

To keep pesky insects away for those late-night tipples, she found citronella torches on bamboo spikes to give a feeling of being on a tropical island. The candle and holders are just £4.

Remember that some products are limited to selected stores, so always check with your local shop before wasting a trip. How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner. If, like Aimee, you want to transform your garden space as the weather warms up, B&M has you covered. One product guaranteed to make your backyard the envy of your neighbours is the Stained Glass Hanging Decoration. The purse-friendly buy comes in a wide variety of colours and patterns from stunning floral designs to captivating mandala patterns.

Plus, when the sunlight catches on the stained glass, it will create a spectacular glow which will transform your garden into a paradise. B&M said: "This unique Stained Glass Hanging Decoration will add a touch of colour and beauty to your garden. "Perfect for hanging in your garden and adding to your outdoor decor." Another product guaranteed to give your garden a glow-up, is the Flower Solar Light. The bargain buy comes in a variety of different colours, including yellow and pink, so is guaranteed to inject your garden with a stunning splash of colour.

Hundreds of Kate Bush fans gather Scots city park to recreate Wuthering Heights dance
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HUNDREDS of Kate Bush fans flocked to a park in a Scottish city to recreate the star's Wuthering Heights music video. Fans of the music legend gathered at the Meadows Festival yesterday to celebrate the 1978 song. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Hundreds of people took part in the annual The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever this weekend Credit: Dave Johnston 3 The event pays tribute to Kate Bush, who wrote the song in 1978 Credit: PA:Press Association 3 Fans recreate the dance from the music video to the iconic song Every year, events are held around the world to honour the song, which is based on Emily Brontë's novel of the same name. The first event was held twelve years ago in Brighton when British performance group Shambush came up with the idea in 2013. And this year, people came together to recreate the dance in the song's iconic video in Scotland's capital city. Music fans of all ages dressed in gorgeous, bright red dresses similar to the one that Kate wore in the original video. And many beamed as they were taught the same dance moves while music played in the background. Many women wore long red dresses with black belts, and little girls wore matching outfits and red jumpers with red hairpieces. Some men were even spotted wearing red dresses as well as they got in on the action. The event started at 4pm, giving performers time to get checked in, fix their outfits and collect merchandise before a welcome at 4.30pm. A warm-up then started at 4.35pm before the dance was taught ten minutes later. After a quick water break, the dance started at 5.10pm and attendees performed it twice before posing for a group photo. Strictly legends return to the stage for new tour after huge endorsement from show judge A website was set up ahead of the event, sharing all the details for those who wished to attend. It read: "Welcome to The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever – Edinburgh 2025! "Get ready to dress up in your best red dress and join us for a fun-filled afternoon of dancing and celebrating the iconic music video by Kate Bush. "The event will take place on Saturday, June 7, at 4.30pm as part of the programme at the Meadows Festival. INSTANTLY CAPITVATED KATE Bush wrote her chart-topping song Wuthering Heights whe she was just 18 years old. The hit song was her debut single and became an unexpected number one hit almost 50 years ago back in 1978. It was actually the first song that was written and performed by a female artist to reach the UK top spot. Despite the song being named after Emily Brontë's novel, it wasn't the book itself that inspired Kate, now 66, to write the song. In an interview in 1978, she told the BBC that the broadcaster's 1967 TV series of the story is what gave her the idea. Kate explained that she came across an episode of the telly adaptation and was blown away by it's startling imagery. At the time, she said: "I just managed to catch the very last few minutes where there was a hand coming through the window and blood everywhere and glass. "And I just didn't know what was going on, and someone explained the story." "Let's come together as a community and recreate the magic of the Wuthering Heights dance. "Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience!" Pictures and videos of the event have been widely shared on social media, and many flocked to the comments to praise the dancers. One person said: "Wish I was there... great!" Another added: "Omg, I wish I'd been there!" Someone else wrote: "Love it! Well done". And a fourth posted: "That's pretty cool!" While a fifth chimed in: "Wow, this looks fabulous! Well done".
