Morrisons are selling three flavours of pre-mixed cocktail 75cl bottles for just £6, or two for £10.
The flavours include a Bliss on the Beach, Cosmo, or Passion Fruit Martini, all pre-made and hassle-free for you.
Bliss on the Beach is a fusion of orange, cranberry, and vodka, while the Cosmo includes zesty flavours of orange and lime.
The martini, also a classic vodka cocktail, provides a sweet passionfruit mix.
Not only are these bottles a time-saving way to enjoy some delicious drinks with a busy schedule, but also money-saving.
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."
He added: "For the perfect serve, simply pour over ice and garnish with fruit, and you're ready to impress."
Morrisons Cocktail Collection can now be bought at stores or online around the UK.
There are around 500 Morrisons supermarkets around the UK, with 1,600 convenience stores.
This launch comes after iconic fizzy drink brand, Schweppes, also launched a series of alcoholic cocktails.
They include a Gin Twist and Paloma Bliss which come in 250ml cans for £2.29 each.
However, brands like Bacardi, Smirnoff, and Aperol have long had a strong presence in the market.

Martin Lewis explains how millions could still get car finance payouts after Supreme Court ruling
Millions of drivers potentially owed compensation over hidden commission payments in car finance schemes could still be able to claim – but they need to 'be patient' for a potential automatic repayment scheme, money expert Martin Lewis said. The founder of Money Saving Expert said motorists with 'secret commission payments' could potentially be reimbursed by an automatic redress scheme by the end of the year. It comes after the Supreme Court ruled that car finance lenders would only be liable for the hidden commission payments in the most 'unfair' cases. 'Nobody should be doing anything right now. You need to sit on your hands. 'People need to be patient. It is the sensible thing to do,' Mr Lewis said. 'While you may have a claim, we are potentially going to see the regulator put in an automatic redress scheme meaning you do not have to put in a claim to get your money. 'So if you were to sign up to a claim's firm on the back of this news, there is a chance you could get money paid to you, and the claim's firm could ask for 25 per cent of it even though it has done nothing.' Mr Lewis said payouts could come by the end of the year, but people should 'wait to see' exactly what the Financial Conduct Authority redress scheme would be. Two lenders, FirstRand Bank and Close Brothers, went to the UK's highest court to challenge a Court of Appeal ruling which found commission payments paid by buyers to car dealers as part of finance arrangements made before 2021 – without the motorist's fully informed consent – were unlawful. The ruling in October last year found three motorists, who all bought their cars before 2021, should receive compensation after they were not told either clearly enough or at all that the car dealers, acting as credit brokers, would receive a commission from the lenders for introducing business to them. Lawyers for the lenders told the Supreme Court at a three-day hearing in April the decision was an 'egregious error', while the Financial Conduct Authority intervened in the case and claimed the ruling 'goes too far'. The three drivers, Marcus Johnson, Andrew Wrench and Amy Hopcraft, opposed the challenge. Giving a summary of the Supreme Court's ruling on Friday, Lord Reed, one of five justices who heard the case, said: 'For the reasons set out in detail in a judgment published today, the Supreme Court allows the appeals brought by the finance companies.' He continued: 'However, we uphold Mr Johnson's claim that the relationship between him and the finance company was unfair, and we allow the appeal in his case only because the Court of Appeal made a number of mistakes in reaching its decision. Retaking the decision on a proper basis, we award him the amount of a commission plus interest.'

For reduced items - when shops open Red sticker items are rare at Aldi's 830 UK stores, but the supermarket says that none of its food goes to waste so there are some to be found - if you're quick. A spokesman for the supermarket said: "All items are reduced to 50 per cent of the recommend sales price before stores open on their best before or use by dates." That means you have the best chance of finding reduced food items if you go into stores as soon as it opens. Opening times vary by shop but a majority open from 7am or 8am. You can find your nearest store's times by using the supermarket's online shop finder tool. For Specialbuys - Thursdays and Sundays Specialbuys are Aldi's weekly collection of items that it doesn't normally sell, which can range from pizza ovens to power tools. New stock comes into stores every Thursday and Sunday, so naturally, these are the best days to visit for the best one-off special deals. For an even better chance of bagging the best items, head there for your local store's opening time. Remember: once they're gone, they're gone, so if there's something you really want, visit as early as possible
