They are available in four classic cocktail flavours.
Shoppers can once again pick up the Gin and Tonic lollies, which were already a sell-out last summer and around Christmas.
While those who want to add some bubbly to a summer's day will also be able to treat themselves to a Bucks Fizz or Peach Bellini ice lolly.
Aldi has also released a Cosmopolitan option for a sophisticated barbecue.

WHAT IS THE DRINK DRIVING LIMIT?
WHILE the drink-drive limit is the same for everyone, how it influences you behind the wheel changes.
- There’s no foolproof system where you can safely have one pint or one large glass of wine and definitely be under the limit.
- As a general guide it takes around two hours for a pint to leave your system although stronger beers and ciders will take longer.
- A large glass of wine (250ml) is still in the blood for four hours and a single measure of a spirit takes just one hour.
- Plus you’ll need to add on an hour for the alcohol to be absorbed into the system. So, if you have four pints and stop drinking at midnight, you’re not safe to drive until at least 9am – a bottle of wine and you have to wait until 1pm the next day.
- These numbers vary from driver to driver, too, depending on a number of factors including weight, age, sex and metabolism. When and how much you’ve eaten and stress levels at the time are all part of the equation, too.
- The easiest way to avoid being caught out and to ensure you’re safe behind the wheel is not to drink at all if you’re planning on driving and give yourself plenty of time the next day before setting off
The easiest way to avoid being caught out and to ensure you’re safe behind the wheel is not to drink at all if you’re planning on driving and give yourself plenty of time the next day before setting off.
The "adult-only" lollies have been infused with alcohol at 4.5 per cent ABV so they are strictly for ice-cream lovers aged 18 years and over.
The lollies are a seasonal treat so they should technically be available throughout the summer.
But they have always proved very popular in the past, so we’d recommend customers to be quick to get their hands on them.
