Aldi shoppers will have to wait a little longer to try Ballycastle's new Cookie Dough Ice Cream Country Cream, which is set to hit store shelves on June 26. The discount supermarket's dupe is nearly £15 cheaper than Tesco's Baileys Original Irish Cream Liqueur Bottle - scanning at the tills for £22.25. It comes after Aldi shoppers rushed to their local branch to snap up a brand new Baileys duplicate that's a whopping 50 per cent cheaper than the real thing. Aldi 'I tried it, it's so good', foodies racing to snap up a posh festive tipple that's just £6.99 - and it's a must if you love chocolate The budget supermarket is set to put the "delicious" bargain drink on sale in its stores from March 30. One keen-eyed shopper spotted the deal for Ballycastle's Cream Chocolate Honeycomb Liqueur on Aldi's website, sharing it to a group on Facebook. The post showed a picture of the product on the site, alongside the caption: "Is anyone excited about this? "I am - looks delicious". The 700ml drink is currently listed at the incredible price of just £7.99. In comparison, Baileys can typically sell for us much as £17, with this price being seen currently at Sainsbury's. This means you can save more than 50 per cent by buying this alternative honeycomb drink. Its product listing states: "A blend of double cream, alcohol and flavourings." The country cream "limited edition" drink is produced in Northern Ireland and has an alcohol content of 12 per cent. Fans were quick to share how excited they were to buy the product ahead of its sale on Sunday. One said: "I'll have to look into that". Another added: "Might buy a few". A third exclaimed: "I so want to try this one". Others also recalled the previous alternative versions of the drink they had enjoyed, including a "raspberry ripple" flavour. Aldi's Baileys dupes over the years Ballycastle Stout Flavour Country Cream: Aldi launched a Guinness inspired Irish cream earlier this year, just in time for St Patrick's Day this month. It boasted a "luxuriously smooth, creamy texture with prominent malt notes balanced by the subtle sweetness of Irish cream", the retailer revealed. The retailer added: "It's a sophisticated sip that's perfect for after-dinner indulgence or mixing into a celebratory cocktail." Ballycastle Country Cream: A direct duplicate of the classic Baileys flavour, this drink has seen its price drop to as low as just £4.49 a bottle in the past. The drink describes itself as an "elegant, Irish tipple" and promises its drinkers a rich, chocolate and vanilla creaminess. With "toffee undertones", the sweet finish derives from the aptly-named Golden Vale region in Ireland. Ballycastle Chocolate Crème: This delectable alcoholic drink was inspired by the much-loved Cadbury Creme Eggs treat. The drink is described as "a deliciously smooth, Irish Cream blend with delicate hints of chocolate and sweet vanilla." Specially Selected Luxury Edition, Irish Cream Liqueur: King of the big-brand dupes, Aldi does a great job at an alcoholic imitation of the most well-known name in Irish Cream, with this caramel-like, creamy tipple, getting the balance of booze with rich cream and flavour just right. It's almost there as a comparison in the glass, just let down by a little oiliness on the finish. Ballycastle S'mores Country Cream: Launched in time for Christmas last year, this funky drink combined rich chocolate and biscuit flavours with hints of vanilla and fluffy marshmallow. Aldi added: "This nostalgic tipple is guaranteed to ignite shoppers' tastebuds – just simply enjoy neat over ice or enjoy as part of an indulgent s'mores-tail."

David Tweed: Woman pleads not guilty to death by careless driving
Woman pleads not guilty to causing David Tweed's death 8 minutes ago Share Save Catherine Morrison BBC News NI Share Save BBC Anne Broughton (left), leaving Antrim Crown Court after pleading not guilty to causing David Tweed's death by careless driving A woman has pleaded not guilty to causing the death by careless driving of disgraced former councillor and Ireland international rugby player David Tweed. The 61-year-old died in October 2021 when his motorcycle was involved in a collision with a car in the Whitepark Road area of Ballycastle, County Antrim. Anne Broughton, 71, from the Whitepark Road, Ballycastle, denies a single charge of causing death by careless driving. Mrs Broughton spoke only to confirm her identity and enter a not guilty plea during the hearing at Antrim Crown Court. Some members of Mr Tweed's family were in the courtroom. A defence barrister told the court he had ordered an engineer's report into the crash. Mr Tweed was a councillor for the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) but left the party in 2007 over its decision to share power with Sinn Féin. He later joined the Traditional Unionist Voice (TUV). In 2012, he was convicted on child sex abuse charges, which were quashed in 2016 due to the way the jury was directed in his initial trial, after he served four years of an eight-year sentence. Lawyers for Mr Tweed challenged the conviction based on flaws in how bad character evidence was put before the jury. Pacemaker David Tweed was convicted of child sex abuse charges, which were later quashed after he had served four years of an eight-year sentence Following his conviction, he was expelled from the Orange Order and was suspended and then replaced by the TUV. Mrs Broughton was released on continuing bail. A trial date was fixed for 8 December at Antrim Crown Court.
