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.

EuroMillions rolls over AGAIN as UK's biggest prize at £208m goes unclaimed – everything you need to know for next draw
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE massive EuroMillions jackpot prize of £208million will roll over again after the money went unclaimed. While the hefty sum wasn't won players should still check their tickets to see if they can claim a smaller chunk of the total prize money on offer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 An anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195 million on July 19, 2022 Credit: Alamy The five main numbers from the draw on Tuesday were 19, 36, 39, 40 and 45 and the two lucky stars were 5 and 6. Four lucky players matched the five main and one star, but nobody matched all five and both the lucky stars. The jackpot prize had already been rolled over previously after the last draw failed to find a winner. The eye-watering sum is the largest prize the UK has seen. Read More on the Lottery NO LUCK! EuroMillions jackpot rolls over AGAIN as UK's biggest ever prize goes unclaimed Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, said previously: "Tuesday sees the £208 million EuroMillions jackpot still up for grabs. "A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen - making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane while also landing them at the number one spot on the National Lottery's biggest wins list. "The EuroMillions jackpot is now capped, so any money that would have gone into increasing the jackpot now boosts prizes in the next winning prize tier, meaning that we could see multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star." In the previous week's draw the main EuroMillions winning numbers were 20, 21, 29, 30, 35 and the Lucky Stars were 02, 12. One UK ticket-holder became a millionaire after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning £2.02million. No players won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot by matching the five Thunderball numbers, 03, 14, 31, 32, 34, and the Thunderball number 06. EuroMillions jackpot winner Frances Connolly reveals surprising first item she bought with £114m jackpot It comes after an anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195million on July 19 2022. Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, bagged £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on May 10. The UK's third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177million jackpot on November 26 last year. It came after 11 millionaires were made on the National Lottery draw in just one week in 2024. One lucky Brit won a cool £33million with their Euromillions ticket. Another ticket, which was snagged in the UK, matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars. It came just weeks after two players from the same county scooped £1m each. This year, the largest win was seen in January with £83million. A previous EuroMillions lottery winner, who scooped an eye-watering £107million jackpot, has revealed why he went public with the news. Neil Trotter bagged the whopping prize money and was faced with a huge decision whether or not to remain anonymous. The 45-year-old chose to splash the cash and filled his driveway with a Jaguar and a Porsche - before upgrading their parking spaces to a luxury mansion. But, Neil explained it can be tricky to go public because of pressure to provide people with money. However, he was overjoyed to buy his sister a house, and help out family and friends privately. He told the BBC: "It was quite tricky but I don't really see that there's any option [other] than to go public. "If you want to live the dream - which is have the house, the money and spend it, you've got to go public. "People have said in the past they would hide the money, I think £170million is going to be impossible to hide. "This is the lake that I bought and the big house and I'm living my dream." But he did previously admit he has been hounded by people making up claims to snap up his cash. He said: "I have had loads of people contact me on Facebook, I've probably got about four million kids in this country. "Everyone wants a bit of money." Elsewhere, a lucky couple thought they'd only bagged £2.60 on the lottery - but soon discovered they had scooped the £61million jackpot. Richard and Debbie Nuttall, both 54, from Colne, Lancashire, took home the life-changing sum in the EuroMillions draw. The couple were enjoying a holiday in Fuerteventura, celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, when they discovered the big win. Richard revealed they originally thought they had won £2.60, but then received another email telling the pair to check their account. 'I thought it was odd and there must be a glitch in the system to get a duplicate email but I logged in again to my National Lottery account to check," he explained. "We were totally stunned, it said we had won over £61million," said the winner.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Emmy stove caught her boyfriend cheating so she decided to get revenge Credit: tiktok/@emstove22 3 She decided to catfish her boyfriend on the dating app Credit: Free for editorial use Taking to social media, she revealed she had a feeling her boyfriend was cheating and took matters into her own hands. Instead of asking him outright, she decided to create an account on the dating app Tinder, the same one he was using to meet other women. Emmy used different pictures in her profile so he wouldn't know it was her and began to message him. Not long after, she revealed they planned to go on a date. She said: "(I) told him to meet 'me.'" While he did turn up for the date, Emmy obviously didn't but he did send him a savage message from her new persona. "When he did, I texted and said I saw him but left because I thought he was too ugly," she said. But her revenge plot didn't end there. Later, when he came home to Emmy with his tail tucked between his legs, she decided to give him the same treatment. She broke up with him then and there, telling him she didn't find him attractive anymore. 3 Women are praising her for getting her own back Credit: tiktok/@emstove22 How my 'perfect' beauty regime exposed my ex as a cheating rat - what his other woman did is totally unforgivable But the clever woman didn't let him know she knew he was cheating or that she was one of the 'girls' he cheated with to make him feel even worse about being called unattractive twice in one day. "Hope he has self-esteem issues for eternity," she captioned the post. The clip was shared on her TikTok account @emstove22 and it soon went viral with over 1.5 million views and 222k likes. People were quick to praise her revenge tactic with some claiming she should do it again. Four red flags your partner is cheating Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating. They start to take their phone everywhere with them In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something. Aaron says: "If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful." "You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something." They start telling you less about their day When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you. "If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag." "Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron. Their libido changes Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron. Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before." They become negative towards you Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify. "To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron. One person wrote: "Big fan of your work." Another commented: 'Him losing twice the same night is gold." "Ma'am you are a psychological genius," penned a third. "He's still thinking about that to this day. In fact his new girlfirend has to remind him he's beautiful once a week." Meanwhile a fourth said: "He was trying to play checkers but BABYYY you were playing CHESS." "Not gonna lie that's a pretty solid way of handling that,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'Girl, if you don't catfish him every year like it's a nationally observed holiday, what are you doing with your life? Get him again."

Celtic star Alistair Johnston aims cheeky dig at Kevin Bridges as he announces first American tour
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AFTER two-and-a-half years in Glasgow, Alistair Johnston is well-versed in Scottish slang and has had plenty of time to master the accent. But the Celtic right-back has warned comedian Kevin Bridges that he shouldn't expect the same from all North Americans. 2 Kevin Bridges is heading across the pond this year 2 Alistair Johnston won't be able to catch the comedian in his home city Credit: Kenny Ramsay Celtic-daft Bridges, 38, will head across the pond in September after announcing his first ever American tour on Saturday. Bridges will kick off the tour in Moncton, Canada on September 3 and will finish in Los Angeles on October 18. He's booked in for 20 shows across North America - 11 in Canada and nine in the USA. And the final night in Canada will take place in Johnston's home city, Vancouver, on September 21. The Canadian won't be able to attend the big night given the new football season will already be in full swing by then. Some of his friends and families could be, though, but Johnston admits many people will need subtitles to understand the legendary Scot's routine. Sharing a video on social media as he announced the big news, Bridges wrote on Instagram: "My first ever, EVER America and Canada tour on sale next week…Dates released on Monday." Johnston couldn't help himself as he replied: "🤣🤣 subtitles will be required." The Canadian, 26, wasted no time before trying to learn the Scottish lingo after he arrived in Glasgow in January 1. Just one month after joining he took to social media to reveal he was "taking Scottish lessons" - by watching Still Game. The diggers move in as Celtic Park pitch is dug up Earlier this year, he even revealed that he's tried Irn Bru - but it's not his drink of choice. He told Celtic TV: "I don't mind it. "I'm not going to say I'm a huge fan of it. "If I was to drink it, I'd have to say I need to drink it out of the can because I've seen a couple of people pour it into a glass and when you see the colour of it, it looks like something you'd put in your car."
