Hooch is usually available in cans and bottles and is sold at supermarkets, bars and pubs
In particular, the zesty original Lemon Hooch will be on tap.
The fruity alcopop is usually sold in cans or bottles at supermarkets, bars and pubs.
It's a mix of vodka and real fruit juice, and comes in at 3.4% ABV.
It's launching this month and will be sold for between £5.50 and £5.95, although this will vary across pubs and venues.
The full list of locations hasn't been revealed yet but Hooch has said it will release this soon on its social media accounts.
Hooch is a 90s cult classic that had risen to fame alongside similar alcopops like Smirnoff Ice, WKD, Bacardi Breezer and VK.
Although alcopops had waned in popularity in more recent years, they appear to be staging a comeback.
Yesterday it was revealed that Bacardi Breezers are returning to supermarket shelves years after being discontinued in the UK.
Meanwhile Gen Z has been going wild for the fruity Buzzballz drinks, which are set to launch at their cheapest price in Aldi soon.
Alcopop makers are now not only hoping to provide some nostalgia but also to capture the attention of Gen Z.
Jacob Barrett, brand manager for Hooch, said: "Launching Hooch on draught is a landmark moment for the brand as we celebrate 30 iconic years.
'Aldi, are you ok hun' wine pro exclaims as she calls store's £6.99 pink bubbles a 'crowd pleaser' you need to snap up
"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."
What other drinks are launching in time for summer?
As the summer approaches, brands and supermarkets are thinking more about their drinks offerings.
Morrisons has started selling three flavours of pre-mixed 75cl cocktails for just £6 or two for £10.
The flavours are Bliss on the Beach, Cosmo, or Passion Fruit Martini.
Iconic fizzy drink brand Schweppes has also launched a series of alcoholic cocktails, including the Gin Twist and Paloma Bliss.
These come in 250ml cans for £2.29 each.
Aldi has a range of ready-to-drink cocktail cans selling for a bargain 99p and they come in 13 new flavours.
These include Spicy Margarita and Cocobay Strawberry.
Meanwhile Lidl has a dupe of the popular Whispering Angel rose that costs just £10.99 - half the price of the original £22.50 version.

Georgia took to TikTok to encourage others to go to the supermarket in search of the LUGG Venus cabin bag. "RUN to Morrisons for the perfect sized cabin case to use as your free carry on bag," she wrote over the top of the clip. "Even perfect measurements for Ryanair! "And only £8." "Morrisons, thank you for these beauts," she captioned her video. The comments section was almost immediately filled with others saying they needed to get one of the cases. "Brilliant value at £8," one wrote. "I saw them the other day - they have orange ones in my area," another added. "Great price!" I spent £136 to see if the lost luggage trend was worth it - I thought I'd nab designer goodies but it was a total flop "£6 with Morrison more card," a third pointed out. To which Georgia replied: "Omgggg no way!!!!" "It's the right size for Ryanair and too small for EasyJet free baggage," someone else said. "I've purchased 2 and they're amazing quality!" another gushed. "They'll still make you snap the wheels off no doubt," someone else sighed.

She also shared another video which showed her testing out the case in one of Ryanair's luggage sizers at the airport. And, as she'd predicted, it fit in there with ease. Others questioned how much she'd be able to fit in the case, with another person writing: "That's your knickers packed, where's everything else going?" Responding to that, Georgia showed how she'd managed to fit in two pair of trousers, one skirt, one pair of shorts, one pair of PJs, four tops or T-shirts, three pairs of socks, three pairs of underwear, 1 bag of hairbrushes etc and one clear bag for 100ml stuff. And it was the perfect amount to cover her for three nights away in Dublin.

I work in a doggy daycare and would never own these 10 breeds – they're stinky, unhealthy, fart & attack me at work

Plus, the breed which sheds fur everywhere RUFF TIMES I work in a doggy daycare and would never own these 10 breeds – they're stinky, unhealthy, fart & attack me at work Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT can be hard to know which dog breed is best for you - but one professional has given her advice. May, who has worked at a doggy daycare for eight years, shared 10 breeds that she would never have herself. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The dog professional said she would be put off by both English and French bulldogs Credit: TikTok/@notnutmeggyy 5 She also was against owning pitbulls Credit: TikTok/@notnutmeggyy On her @notnutmeggyy account, she shared a video which has racked up 46,000 likes, of the dogs that have some off-putting drawbacks, in her opinion. She added that her list is from her 'personal experience' and not every single dog from that breed shows the negative traits. The first up was an English bulldog, which, although it can be adorable, was one to avoid due to being 'stinky' and 'so unhealthy'. She added that the one had even tried to attack her recently which was another strike against the breed. More on dogs COCKA-POO! The six dog breeds most likely to get DIARRHOEA revealed by scientists French bulldogs were also on her banned list for being 'unhealthy' and 'overbred.' Next up was a German Shepherd, who made the list due to their 'crazy anxiety'. She added that she would not be able to keep up with their energy and she would only consider getting a senior one. Fourthly, was a Chow Chow, as she said they aren't great with anyone other than their owner. On a side note, she said their 'purple' tongues 'freak' her out. Pugs also made the list for 'not being healthy', barking too much, 'farting' too much and shedding. Laura Anderson shocks fans as she reveals her dog has BITTEN her daughter, 1, twice - but she's not giving him up Foxhounds were also a no-go, although she said she loves them other than the fact they are 'too loud.' Pitbulls, staffies and bullies also made the list as "aggression" is in their genes. In the UK, it is against the law to own certain types of dogs, including the Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, and Fila Brasileiro. Additionally, XL Bully dogs are banned in England and Wales. The top 10 dog breeds the professional would never own MAY, who posts under @notnutmeggyy, and who has worked at a doggy daycare for eight years, shared 10 breeds that she would not own... English Bulldog French Bulldog German Shepherd Chow Chow Pug Foxhound Pitbull, Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Staffie), Bully Pomeranian Husky Jack Russell Terrier It is also illegal to sell, abandon, give away, or breed from any of these banned dogs. May added that pitbulls are nearly always on Apoquel or anxiety medication, and also have allergies. The next dog on her list was a Pomeranian as they can be 'aggressive' and 'way too loud.' 5 Pugs also made the list for 'not being healthy' and barking too much Credit: Getty 5 Huskies were found to be 'loud af' and the 'shedding goes crazy' Credit: Getty 5 She said she'd encountered a lot of 'aggressive' Jack Russells Credit: Getty Another gripe she had was how much grooming they require. Dog number nine was a husky as they are 'loud af', she doesn't live in a cold climate and 'shedding goes crazy.' Finally, she recommended people don't buy Jack Russells as she's encountered so many "aggressive" ones and also she 'doesn't want to play fetch 24/7.' While many people agreed with her selection, the list also ruffled a few feathers with dog owners. One said: 'As I sit here on the couch with my 3 pitties who have zero allergies and no aggressive tendencies.' Another added: 'I won't tolerate English bulldog slander! They're wonderful dogs.' And a third commented: 'Worth noting that the majority of these qualities aren't found in well-bred versions of these dogs.'

Hollyoaks icon collapses in supermarket as hero shop worker rushes to their aid

A Hollyoaks star, who has been a stalwart on the Channel 4 soap for more than a decade, collapsed in a Morrisons supermarket as a shop worker rushed to help her Hollyoaks star Tamara Wall sparked concern amongst fans as she revealed she collapsed in a Morrisons supermarket store earlier this week. The soap star, 47, posted a photo of herself smiling while stood next to a supermarket worker to praise him as she rushed to her aid during her time of need. As she shared the selfie on Instagram, Tamara gushed over the help she'd received and revealed her medical woes. ‌ She wrote in the caption: "Dear @morrisons I need you to know how amazing your staff in Warrington are!! This guy in particularly was my actual hero when I collapsed in their store, I cannot give enough thanks to all the staff for being so unbelievable lovely ! #morrisons #love". The supermarket worker then responded to Tamara's post in the comments as he wrote: "it was my pleasure @tamarawall13 and I'm glad your ok". ‌ Meanwhile, concerned fans rushed to the comments to ask Tamara if she was OK. One said: "Hope you're okay and I'm glad someone was there to help!" Another added: "Oh Tam. I hope you're ok xxx". "Hope you're okay and I'm glad someone was there to help!," a second wrote while Jessamy Stoddart, who plays Liberty Savage on the soap, wrote: "Oh Tam. I hope you're ok xxx". Meanwhile actress Gemma Bissix, who plays Clare Devine in Hollyoaks, praised Tamara for returning to work so soon after the incident. She wrote in one comment: "Yayyyyy you went back!!! Thank you to all at Morrisons Warrington for looking after my sis!!!," followed by two green heart emojis. She added in a separate comment: "Also you are my HERO… coming into work the next day filming a full day of scenes!!! Sick day? What sick day? x". ‌ Tamara is best known for her role on Hollyoaks, which she undertook in 2013. She was left devastated in 2023 when soap bosses announced her character was set to be axed. Speaking to OK! magazine at the time, she said: "It's absolutely devastating. When I got told, I bawled my eyes out for three days, I was so upset – it's been the best time of my life. "It wasn't my decision, but I understand. It's the name of the game, and Grace was going to get her comeuppance at some point. In the end, she probably deserved it. But I'm sure she'll find her way out eventually, she'll be back." ‌ Grace's Hollyoaks exit was initially intended to be permanent, but Tamara reprised the role after the soap underwent leadership changes. And, in 2024, Tamara was signed back onto the cast list. And that wasn't all for the soap as Grace's sister Clare Devine made a bombshell return to Hollyoaks after her character was killed off. Tamara gushed over Clare's comeback as it marked the first time the sisters are on-screen together. Last month, Tamara shared a series of photos of herself alongside Gemma and captioned the post: "FINALLY THIS IS HAPPENING!!!!! Where do I even begin ….. to say I was excited when I heard @gbissix was coming back is an understatement!! In fact I cried down the phone when she told me !!! "I've been honoured to have had this gorgeous, incredible, talented , funny and unbelievably loving woman in my life for close to 12 years and to say I love her doesn't do it enough justice ….. but she knows exactly what she means to me ! Finally after all this time we actually get to work together! "And when I say work I mean we're basically playing best friend dress up all day , everyday working with Gemma is such a dream and I literally can't wait for you guys to see what we've been up to! I've always loved my job but now it's been made even better !!!!! So watch this space cause sisters are doing it for themselves !!!"
