And the best part is that you can easily turn them into ice lollies for a refreshing snack.
Aldi shared a photo of the 250ml cans and some freshly-made lollies and said they would be perfect for Father's Day this weekend.
The supermarket wrote on Instagram: 'These BOOZY Mango Margarita Popsicles taste like summer, sun & BBQs!!'
They also helpfully shared their lolly recipe if you are tempted to make a batch.
All you need to do is mix together two cans of their Mango Margarita, with one of their 200ml Mango & Passion Fruit Smoothies.
Add two tbsp of fresh lime juice and then divide between the tubs or ice lolly moulds.
The website states: 'Top with a slice of lime and insert a lolly stick, then freeze overnight.
'When ready to serve, remove the ice lollies from the moulds and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and lime zest.'
The post appears to have excited numerous Aldi shoppers, who rushed to the comments to share their views.
One said: 'Need to make these.'

You can pick up Choc Tease, Strawberry Rita and Tequila Rita from Aldi this summer.
Choc Tease is described as a "rich, chocolate cocktail crafted with premium vodka, real cream and natural chocolate flavour".
It can be drunk straight from the ball, in a cocktail glass or poured over ice cream as a dessert.
Tequila Rita is a take on the classic margarita.
It combines a lime flavour with "premium tequila, vodka, and natural flavours".
The Strawberry Rita is more of a fruity margarita and can either be drunk straight from the ball or poured over ice and garnished with a fresh strawberry.
BuzzBallz are already available in corner shops and in other big supermarkets like Morrisons, Tesco and B&M.
But Aldi says you'll get them for the cheapest price in its stores.

Gemma Atkinson's devastating reason for not marrying fiancé Gorka Marquez
Gemma Atkinson has revealed that she believes one of the reasons she hasn't walked down the aisle yet is because her dad won't be there - and getting married means losing the 'last tie to him' Gemma Atkinson has opened up about why she is yet to marry her Spanish fiancé, Strictly professional dancer Gorka Marquez, with whom she shares children, Mia and Thiago. Opening up in a deeply moving open letter to mark Father's Day, to her beloved das David, who tragically died of a heart attack at just 52, when Gemma, now xx, was just 17. As she markes her 24th Father's Day without the man she thinks of 'every day', Gemma, in support of the palliative care and bereavement charity Sue Ryder, admits that the thought of tying the knot without him by her side is almost too much to bare - and his painful absence is one of the reasons it hasn't happened yet. READ MORE: Marks & Spencer's 'lightweight' basket bag is perfect for holidays and 'looks so expensive' She said: " I'm getting married, Dad! One day, anyway. I think one of the reasons we've not done it yet is because of you. We've come close many times, but something stops me. I'm now the last Atkinson in the family line and if I give up my name, there's no more of us. I don't want to lose that remaining tie to you. Not having you walk me down the aisle... maybe I'll just stay engaged for a bit longer. Speaking of her future husband, Gemma also said poignantly that she felt her late father would be a huge fan - as well as of the two beautiful children they have welcomed, children she reflects, sadly, it breaks her heart he will never see . "I think you'd be really happy with my choice of fiancé. You'd get such a kick out of Gorka being a professional dancer – you loved to dance – and I know you'd adore your grandchildren. Just like you adored me. She continued emotionally: "I wish you'd got to meet him. There have been many times where he would have benefitted from your advice. You travelled so much for work and Gorka needs to be away a lot to o. I remember when Mia was born, he had to leave for a tour when she was three days old. It broke his heart but I know you'd have helped him. I can hear your voice, saying, 'I get it pal, I had to do the same. You'll get through it.' I often feel sad that he never got to shake your hand. You only ever met my high school boyfriend. That's hard for me." But the former Strictly star and radio host admits, she keeps her dad's memory very much alive, when it comes to her little family. "I talk to Thiago and Mia about you all the time. They call you GanGan David. We've got a picture of you in the house and Mia thinks GanGan David lives on the moon and you can't get out. She always asks us how we can rescue you. When our dogs died it was devastating, but Mia took comfort in the fact you were looking after them somewhere. I really believe you are. Back in January, Gorka issued a wedding update, reassuring fans that his and Gemma's big day would happen, when little Thiago was more independent. 'We will do it, it's just not at the moment. We are very good like this, especially with having the kids. Thiago is not independent yet so we don't want to go into the wedding and be carrying him or halfway through the wedding he starts screaming that he only wants mummy, you know?!' Palliative care and bereavement charity Sue Ryder offers a range of grief support. Visit Gemma Atkinson is the host of the Hits Drivetime show, airing weekdays at 4pm

Gemma Atkinson's moving Father's Day letter to late dad after heart attack at 52
This Father's Day. TV star and radio host Gemma Atkinson shares precious memories of her father and the pain of his passing in this heartbreakingly beautiful tribute, in her own words Gemma Atkinson was just 17 when her beloved dad David died of a heart attack at just 52. Here, as she marks her 24th Father's Day without him, Gemma, in support of the palliative care and bereavement charity Sue Ryder, pens an incredibly moving open letter to him in which she tells him just how much he meant to her and how she and fiancé, Strictly professional dancer Gorka Marquez and their children, Mia and Thiago, continue to keep his memory alive... Happy Father's Day, Dad. I've lived through so many of them without you now, but it never really gets easier. It's been so long since I last saw your face and I still think about you every single day. But I know you'd be proud of me and the things I've achieved. I think you'd be really happy with my choice of fiancé, too. You'd get such a kick out of Gorka being a professional dancer – you loved to dance – and I know you'd adore your grandchildren. Just like you adored me. You were born to be a dad of girls. You were very tuned in emotionally and right from the off you taught me and (my sister) Nina how to be tough and stand up for ourselves. You were the first to tell me, "If someone hits you, you hit them back harder,' but also the first to let me know that when I needed a cuddle, you'd be there. We were so lucky to have a dad with both a hard and soft side. I remember the last time I saw you. April 27th, 2002. You were sitting in your hospital bed and you asked me to get you a Mars bar from the vending machine. It was four days since you were taken in after being found slumped at your desk. You'd been experiencing chest pain for days, but brushed it off as indigestion, blaming the dodgy burger you'd eaten at the Caterham Super Seven race we'd all gone to. It was so typically you: your leg would have to have been hanging off for you to go to the doctor. It's something I see in myself now. I'm a 'get on with things' person, but how I wish you'd had it checked out. You were in the hospital because you'd had a stress-induced heart attack. You collapsed on Friday and I visited the following Tuesday. I told you off for wanting the Mars bar, but you really craved one, so I got it and sat on the end of your bed as we shared half and half. 'It's bloody lovely, that,' you said. And then it was time for me to leave. You winked at me, smiled that irresistible smile, and that was the last time I ever saw you. Even though you should've been coming home the next day, you'd had another heart attack in the night. I remember Mum, in the early hours, coming up to my bedroom and standing in the doorway. I could only see her silhouette. And she just burst into tears. You guys were no longer married – she'd moved on and married Peter years before and you were with Janet – but you'd co-parented brilliantly and her pain was palpable. 'I'm so sorry, Gemma,' she sobbed. 'Your dad's gone.' For a long time I was angry. I was angry at you for dying. Angry at the doctors for telling me you'd be able to come home when you never did. Angry at myself for not staying longer. I'd cry myself to sleep at night. Anger turned to heartache around my 18th birthday. I'd thrown myself into work at Hollyoaks – pretending to be someone else for 12 hours a day was a way to escape the pain – then we had a big party. All the family were there, everyone but you. I looked at Grandma and remember thinking it was so strange that she was there while you weren't, how that just wasn't the natural order of things. But she kept smiling, trying to keep it nice for me on my big day. Now, looking back through the eyes of a mother, my heart breaks for her – the thought of my kids going before me petrifies me. For Grandma, she was living that nightmare. She buried her child and yet I never really understood it back then. I really think you'd be proud of the mother I've become. I sobbed when I found out I was expecting Mia. Not because I wasn't ecstatic – I was – but because you weren't there to share our joy. I talk to Thiago and Mia about you all the time. They call you GanGan David. We've got a picture of you in the house and Mia thinks GanGan David lives on the moon and you can't get out. She always asks us how we can rescue you. When our dogs died it was devastating, but Mia took comfort in the fact you were looking after them somewhere. I really believe you are. It's funny how kids pick up on things. When Gorka's away, working on Strictly, Mia asks me when Papa's coming home. I tell her he'll be back but twice now she's said to me, 'But your papa didn't come home.' I explain that her daddy is much fitter. That we have FaceTime and mobiles now. I let her know she can get hold of her papa anytime she wants. We often visit your grave but we always keep it positive. I don't want to give her a fear of death. You wouldn't want that. You'd adore Thiago too. He looks exactly like you did as a baby. That's the first thing everyone said when he was born. People joke that Gorka has no genetics in our children whatsoever. It's because both of them are so like me and you. Speaking of Gorka, I wish you'd got to meet him. There have been many times where he would have benefitted from your advice. You travelled so much for work and Gorka needs to be away a lot to o. I remember when Mia was born, he had to leave for a tour when she was three days old. It broke his heart but I know you'd have helped him. I can hear your voice, saying, 'I get it pal, I had to do the same. You'll get through it.' I often feel sad that he never got to shake your hand. You only ever met my high school boyfriend. That's hard for me. But I'm getting married, Dad! One day, anyway. I think one of the reasons we've not done it yet is because of you. We've come close many times, but something stops me. I'm now the last Atkinson in the family line and if I give up my name, there's no more of us. I don't want to lose that remaining tie to you. Not having you walk me down the aisle... maybe I'll just stay engaged for a bit longer. Finally, I want to remind you of the pact you made with Tyler, Nina's son and your second grandchild. When he was gravely ill with meningitis as a baby we went to visit him in intensive care after doctors warned us he would likely die. I remember so vividly how you pressed your nose to his, tubes coming out of him, his little face blown up like a puffa fish, and you said, 'If anyone's listening, if there is a god, please take me and save Tyler.' You were gone just a couple of months later. Tyler made a complete recovery and is now healthy and thriving. You left this earth so he could stay. That was how selfless you were, 100% always a family first man. I know you live on through him, through all of us. I wish you were still here, Dad, but while I'll never truly get over losing you, I've learnt to live without you. It's my new 'normal'. And I really do believe I will see you again. Until then… Gemma. x Palliative care and bereavement charity Sue Ryder offers a range of grief support. Visit Gemma Atkinson is the host of the Hits Drivetime show, airing weekdays at 4pm

Tyson Fury's next fight options including Anthony Joshua grudge match
The former two-time heavyweight champion has hinted at a return to the ring despite calling it quits after back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk Tyson Fury has plenty of options on the table should the former two-time heavyweight champion make a retirement U-turn. Back in January, the 36-year-old shocked the world after officially calling it a day. "Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet," he said in a video uploaded to social media. "I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it. I'm going to end with this. Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side. Get up!" His announcement came just weeks after losing to long-time rival Oleksandr Usyk for a second time. Over the last few weeks, though, the 'Gypsy King' has hinted at a return to the ring. Recently, the Brit he uploaded a short video in the gym alongside trainer SugarHill Steward. Fury, 36, who was sweating slightly after potentially wrapping up a workout said: "Just in the gym, happened to bump into somebody you might know." He then shifted the camera towards the direction of an energetic and happy SugarHill - who replied: "You know what time it is!" The 'Gypsy King' had the last say before ending the story: "You know what's coming," he said - seemingly teasing a return to the ring. Despite back-to-back defeats to the Ukrainian, the Brit has several fight options on the table should he make a stunning comeback - including a stunning trilogy fight with Usyk. Back in April, Fury revealed he was ready for a third fight with the 'Cat.' The Ukrainian has said that he will have one more fight after taking on Daniel Dubois next month, with plenty of fight fans hoping to see him in the ring with Fury one more time. Speaking to The Stomping Ground, Usyk was asked about fighting Fury again and said: "Maybe it's Tyson Fury. Maybe it's Anthony Joshua." He then added on Fury: "He's not retired. I think Tyson will continue training, continue boxing, because he's a great man. Yes, Tyson Fury... a lot of speak - blah blah blah blah - but it's good. Great man, wow." Responding to an Instagram post of the interview, Fury wrote: "Beat the f***er 2 times the world knows the truth. Any time, any place. sucher (sic) UK next time 100k people." Another fight that could be on the cards is an all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua. Following Fury's defeat to the Usyk in December, many had hoped to see the 'Gypsy King' and Joshua go head-to-head this year. Joshua has not fought since suffering a knockout defeat to Dubois last September. The 35-year-old is aiming to return to competitive boxing before the end of the year, following elbow surgery. Eddie Hearn - Joshua's promoter - recently confirmed that 'AJ' is in discussions with Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh over a new multiple fight deal. Joshua has not given up hope of finally realising a bout with Fury. The Brit is not convinced that his rival's retirement is final and appears confident that a fight could still materialise. The British pair agreed a two-bout deal in 2020 but saw plans scuppered when it was ruled Fury had to permit Deontay Wilder a trilogy fight. In a recent post uploaded to Snapchat, Joshua shared an image of himself watching Fury fight, saying: "One of these days I'll be standing in the opposite corner. Ready and fully charged spiritually." Hearn himself is still holding out hope that Fury will make a retirement U-turn and fight his star client. The Boxing promoter told DAZN: "It's probably three fights away. For me, if I'm advising AJ, we're back this year, we have two Tyson Fury fights, what else is there to do? Maybe fight a Daniel Dubois, but for me once AJ fights Tyson Fury, he's kind of done it all. I'd love him to have another crack at Daniel Dubois and I'd love him to have another crack at Usyk but you just keep going on and on and on. Now, if we get to next year and he's still firing on all cylinders then 2026 won't be his last year. But for me, something feels right about coming back this year, beating Tyson Fury twice and then sailing off into the sunset."
