Yippee – its now officially summer time, which means only one thing – alcoholic ice lollies have landed BACK in stores! And we couldnt be happier about the situation…
Whoever came up the idea of combining ice lollies and alcohol – well, wed like to give you a pat on the back, because we cant imagine any summer without them now.
Tasty, refreshing and, ahem, alcoholic , theyre the perfect addition to warm summers night. We might not be able to rely on the great British summer, but these lollies are certain to be a crowd pleaser… whatever the weather!
So where can you get the best of the best boozy lollies – and how much for?
Sainsburys
Set to transform our summer BBQs, Sainsburys have announced that they will be launching their very own version of the frozen treats just in time for the warmer weather.
The supermarket will be bringing out two boozy flavours – raspberry bellini, and of course, the classic gin and tonic. Were practically salivating already…
Like most alcoholly lollies on the market, the Sainsburys offering is pretty high in booze – with a 4.5% ABV. 4.5% ABV is roughly the same alcohol content as a beer. So if youre treating yourselves to one of these lollies this summer, make sure to be careful not to get behind the wheel of a car after eating.
Sainsburys alcoholic ice lollies will be available in packs of four, for an absolute steal of a price at £4.50. Theyre available in stores NOW – so you better hurry if you want some for yourself!
Aldi
Aldi have also re-released their boozy ice pops, which were a sell-out success when they first released them last year.
Customers went crazy for the creations – and if were honest, who can blame them?!
The budget store have brough out their tasty frozen treats in four flavours, including two new ones. Treat yourself to two of last years boozy flavours – zingy gin & tonic, or sweet prosecco & peach. Or, if you fancy trying something new, theres now also a Champagne & Orange Bucks Fizz, and a Cosmopolitan. YUM!

The Giannis alcoholic ice popsicles are available for just £2.99 for a pack of four as well, meaning this delicious sweet treat wont break the bank.
However, customers are warned that the Aldi ice lollies are also more boozy than you may think. Most are 4.5% ABV, while the Cosmo flavour is 4.7% ABV.
Fortnum and Mason
But the novelty ice lollies arent only available in your local stores. Fortnum and Mason also offer a range of alcoholic popsicles at a rather hefty £50 for a ten pack!
Waitrose
And while were on the subject of boozy lollies, these champagne popsicles are certainly worth a mention. Pops Ice Popsicals originated in Australia, but theyre now available in the UK. Waitrose are stocking the popular ice lollies, and Classic Champagne has to be our favourite flavour. You can find out more and order them here.
