ALDI shoppers are praising a bargain Tequila Rose dupe which “tastes just the same” but is £5 cheaper.
The item, Loquito Strawberry Flavour Cream Liqueur, is on sale for £7.99 at the budget supermarket.
This is a significant reduction from the similar Tequila Rose Strawberry Cream product, which is currently going for £13 at Tesco – or £11 with a Clubcard.
Bargain seekers posted about their excitement at trying the product on social media.
Rebecca Partridge, a top contributer to the Aldi UK Shoppers Facebook group, posted a picture of the Loquito drink on October 24, writing: “Am a happy bunny today.”
Several fellow group members wrote about their desire to get the product for themselves.
One, Chloe Heywood, tagged a friend and wrote: “We need to try this.”
Michelle Fountain said, “Oh it’s back”, along with party popper emojis.
Debbie Lowe said it was “the same” as tequila rose, but for £7.99.
Kerry Mills tagged a friend and said “we need to try this”.
The original poster, Rebecca Partridge, replied to a number of comments asking to know how much it was – revealing it was only £7.99.
The item is also listed on Aldi’s website for the same price.
The more expensive Tequila Rose item is described on its Tesco listing as an “exciting alcohol liqueur” that is a unique blend of strawberry flavoured real dairy cream mixed with a splash of Mexican tequila.
“Strawberry cream provides sweetness, softness and roundness with a hint of Tequila that gives the spirit liqueur great body, depth and structure,” the description continues.
“Tequila Rose is perfect served chilled. Delicious over ice, Tequila Rose Strawberry Cream liqueur also works brilliantly as a mixer and as a base for cocktails.
“One great way to mix Tequila Rose is in an ‘Espresso Yourself’ shot as 2 parts Tequila Rose and 1 part coffee liqueur.
“So, go on. Why not embrace the unexpected, defy your expectations and explore a brand new liqueur that’ll get any party started?
“You’ll be enjoying nothing more, nothing less, than the perfect new mix.
“Just don’t forget to shake to wake the ingredients & rouse the strawberry cream liqueur!”
