Gianni’s Cocktail Mini Pots take cues from classic cocktail flavors to deliver summertime refreshment with sorbet and a splash of real spirits. These indulgent treats are available in varieties that pay tribute to the mojito with sweet mint, zesty lime and white rum, as well as tropical passion fruit martinis with vodka. There's also Gianni’s Gin & Tonic Mini Cocktail Pots, offering a new experience of crisp gin and tonic with a splash of lemon, and Gianni’s Strawberry Liqueur Mini Cocktail Pots with tequila for fans of bold berry flavors.
These cocktail-inspired sorbet cups were newly launched at Aldi at £2.99 for a four-pack, which brings the price of individual pots to just 75p.
