ALDI shoppers are going wild for a new boozy product that looks perfect for summer BBQs and picnics. The supermarket has brought out alcoholic mango margarita cans, which cost just £1.70. 5 And the best part is that you can easily turn them into ice lollies for a refreshing snack. Aldi shared a photo of the 250ml cans and some freshly-made lollies and said they would be perfect for Father's Day this weekend. The supermarket wrote on Instagram: 'These BOOZY Mango Margarita Popsicles taste like summer, sun & BBQs!!' They also helpfully shared their lolly recipe if you are tempted to make a batch. All you need to do is mix together two cans of their Mango Margarita, with one of their 200ml Mango & Passion Fruit Smoothies. Add two tbsp of fresh lime juice and then divide between the tubs or ice lolly moulds. The website states: 'Top with a slice of lime and insert a lolly stick, then freeze overnight. 'When ready to serve, remove the ice lollies from the moulds and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and lime zest.' The post appears to have excited numerous Aldi shoppers, who rushed to the comments to share their views. One said: 'Need to make these.' Aldi is selling a cheap $4.49 item that will transform your garden into a colorful summer paradise Another added: 'Yum.' And a third commented: 'We finally tried the spicy margaritas recently, they're so good. 'I can see I'm going to have to try these too!' Aldi joked in response: 'We take no responsibility for any joy and/or mischief that results from the creation of these Popsicles…' 5 How to make Aldi's mango margarita lollies Mix together the mango margaritas, smoothie and lime juice.

The discount supermarket has boasted that it will be selling BuzzBallz for the cheapest price around, at just £2.99. The colourful pre-mixed drinks come in clear plastic balls and they're hugely popular with Gen Z. You can pick up Choc Tease, Strawberry Rita and Tequila Rita from Aldi this summer. Choc Tease is described as a "rich, chocolate cocktail crafted with premium vodka, real cream and natural chocolate flavour". It can be drunk straight from the ball, in a cocktail glass or poured over ice cream as a dessert. Tequila Rita is a take on the classic margarita. It combines a lime flavour with "premium tequila, vodka, and natural flavours". The Strawberry Rita is more of a fruity margarita and can either be drunk straight from the ball or poured over ice and garnished with a fresh strawberry. BuzzBallz are already available in corner shops and in other big supermarkets like Morrisons, Tesco and B&M. But Aldi says you'll get them for the cheapest price in its stores.

Fresh Recipes for Touching Grass
There has been a shift. Over just a few days last week, a tangle of digital party invitations filled my phone for the weekend ahead, words like 'picnic' and 'garden' and 'backyard is reserved' catching my eye like glinting charms. One event is titled, plainly, 'We outsiiiide.' We absolutely are. So in honor of 'Should we eat outside?' season, and to prepare us all for it, I pulled together 24 snacks, salads, sandwiches, skewers, sweets and more for packing up, schlepping and sharing outdoors. They are, in short, recipes for touching grass. Many of them are vegetarian (Tomato and farro salad with arugula! Potato salad with tartar sauce!) or easily adapted to suit whatever preferences you have (Stuff your onigiri with pickled vegetables!). Here are a few of the dishes I'm most looking forward to, as well as a few bonus ideas just for you, my Veggie friends. Naan-o paneer-o sabzi: Everything I want to eat this summer is on Naz Deravian's sprightly and abundant bread, feta and herb platter. Briny cheese, fragrant mint and basil, walnuts and lavash or pita are nonnegotiable. But tacking on cooling, juicy produce like watermelon, grapes and cucumbers swerves things over into refreshing territory, making it the kind of grazing meal you just can't quit. Good for: Breaking in your new patio furniture; a breezy lunch picnic with your book club; a 'chill summer afternoon movie date,' according to Pooja, a reader You might also like: The herbs, feta, fruit and ciabatta in this country panzanella with watermelon dressing Want all of The Times?
