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.

Cadbury shrinks size of Freddo chocolates while prices remain the same
Cadbury has shrunk the size of its Dairy Milk Freddo multipacks, while keeping the price the same. The confectionery company is responsible for a range of popular chocolates including Boost, Crunchie, Creme Eggs and the classic Dairy Milk. However, arguably one of the most popular Cadbury chocolates is its Dairy Milk Freddos. The price of Freddos has been a major talking point over the years. The popular chocolate used to be 10p, but recently it has risen in price and is now on sale in supermarkets for up to 40p (Sainsbury's). Now, Freddo multipacks have been hit by shrinkflation. Cadbury has shrunk the size of its Freddo (5x18g) and Caramel Freddo (5x19.5g) multipacks by 20%, according to The Grocer. These multipacks disappeared from Tesco stores in May and have recently been replaced by Freddo 4x18g and Freddo Caramel 4x19.5g multipacks. Despite the change in size, the price has remained the same at £1.40. The original 5-packs of Freddo chocolates are still available in some supermarkets, including Morrisons. (Image: Morrisons) Both the old and new versions of the Freddo multipacks are available at Morrisons (at the time of writing), on sale for £1.40. While Sainsbury's still has the original multipacks of five available, both for £1.40. A spokesman for Cadbury owner Mondelez International, speaking to The Grocer, confirmed the change to Freddo multipacks was made due to "significantly higher input costs". RECOMMENDED READING: Cadbury to release new chocolate bar shoppers say is like discontinued favourite 'Amazingly good' new Kinder chocolate bar spotted in meal deal section at Tesco Tesco joins Sainsbury's in making major change to self-service checkouts Sainsbury's shoppers 'won't buy anything' as major change rolled out in-store The spokesperson explained ingredients like cocoa and dairy cost "far more" than they have done in the past and energy and transport prices "remain high". They continued: "This means that our products continue to be much more expensive to make and while we have absorbed these costs where possible, we still face considerable challenges. 'As a result of this difficult environment, we have had to make the decision to slightly reduce the weight of our Cadbury Dairy Milk Freddo multipacks so that we can continue to provide consumers with the brands they love, without compromising on the great taste and quality they expect."

Long-running magazine The Cricketer seeks new ownership
The Cricketer magazine, a 104-year-old monthly publication that has been edited by some of the game's most notable grandees, is searching for a new owner. The title was founded by the former England captain turned cricket writer Sir Pelham 'Plum' Warner in 1921, who remained involved until his death in 1963. Other editors have included some of the best known names in cricket writing and broadcasting, including EW Swanton, Christopher Martin-Jenkins and David Frith. The current shareholders of the title's holding company Test Match – who include the Conservative peer Lord Marland, the former Morrisons supermarket director Neil Davidson and the Martin-Jenkins' estate – are believed to be searching for buyers who can increase investment in the business, particularly its digital products. The hunt for a new owner is understood to follow previous unsolicited approaches to acquire the company and comes at a pivotal moment in the financing of the game. In February, the England and Wales Cricket Board raised more than £520m by selling a stake in each of the eight teams competing in the Hundred, with the proceeds from the sale of shares in English cricket's answer to the Indian Premier League to be injected into the professional and recreational game. Meanwhile, there have been signs of a renaissance for cricket in the US. Apart from its monthly magazine, which claims a readership of 136,000, the company also owns a string of other businesses. They include an amateur cricket competition, the National Village Cup, which the magazine founded in 1972; a directory of schools cricket called the Schools Guide; a statistics database, Cricket Archive; and an editorial website, which the company says attracts about 800,000 unique visitors a month. The overall business claims to have roughly broken even in 2024 and has budgeted for a small profit of about £50,000 in 2025, according to a presentation seen by the Guardian. While the collection of assets represents a small business with revenues of about £1.3m, the brand name is known throughout the cricketing world and has a storied history. Warner, who still has a stand named after him at Lord's and is perhaps best known as the manager and critic of the infamous 1932-33 Bodyline Ashes tour to Australia, remained as editor until 1961. The magazine was bought by the American publishers Mercury House in 1962 at the instigation of its employee Ben Brocklehurst, a former amateur captain of Somerset. Brocklehurst subsequently acquired the title from his employer a decade later having been told to close it and make 40 redundancies as it was not considered profitable enough for the American owners. His innovations included the Village Cup, as well as less enduring competitions such as the European Cricketer Cup, which was once won by Germany at Worksop college. The day after that victory, the Germans played MCC at Lord's, when the England footballer Gary Lineker opened for the home team and was dismissed for a single. The striker was then said to have commented: 'I always score one against the Germans.'
