It's not the first gin to be flavoured with the retro 90s sweets.

Rival supermarkets sell bottles of Whitley Neill's parma violet gin for £20 for a 70cl bottle.

Alidi is selling 50cl bottle in stores around the UK from April 26.

The German grocery chain is also adding three new liquers to its range.

A coconut and vanilla rum, mango and papaya vodka and a rhubarb, pink grapefruit and black better gin.

All three 50cl bottles cost £9.99 and will be in store at the same time as the new violet gin.

In the last ten years sales of gin - affectionately known as Mother's Ruin - have tripled.

Drinkers spent £461million on gin last year, up by 32.5 per cent on the year, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The rise in popularity has meant thousands of different flavours have been created, including Hubba Bubba and even a glittery pink unicorn gin that tastes of marshmallows.
