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.

Iconic alcoholic drink to be made available on tap in British pubs for the first time
Drinkers will be able to order an iconic alcoholic on tap for the first time in pubs across the UK. Hooch first burst onto the scene in the 90s and has become an established favourite amongst young people. The popular alcopop is widely regarded as the brand which gave birth to a series of fruit flavoured alcoholic drinks popular with young people. It was first launched in 1995 before being discontinued in 2003. However, it made a comeback in 2012 and now it will be available on tap. Currently sold in a range of cans and bottles, the original recipe of vodka and real fruit juice with a 3.4% alcohol content will remain the same in the new draught option. The zesty original Lemon Hooch was first rolled out on tap at the Northern Restaurant & Bar in Manchester on March 11. It will now launch across venues in the UK this month and is expected to sell for between £5.50 and £5.95. The full list of locations hasn't been confirmed by Hooch yet but it is expected to be announced on its social media accounts.

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.
