Aldi is selling a delicious gin and tonic tasting selection for under €15

The collection includes 5cl bottles of Greenall’s The Original, Gordon’s, Beefeater and JJ Whitley London Dry Gins.

The collection is available in stores on March 1 costing €14.99, while stocks last… and knowing how quickly Aldi sell out, we’d say get there as soon as you can!

And while you’re on a G&T buzz, why not try baking these amazing gin and tonic cupcakes.

They’re the one thing we keep going back to time and time again, and they never disappoint.

Here’s the recipe… enjoy!
