Aldi fans are rushing to stores to “stock up” on a limited-edition product they claim will make summer drinks by the pool or sprinkler even better.
One customer revealed that she had purchased boxes of Vok Cosmopolitan cocktails from the store recently and couldn’t get enough of them.
The 2-litre kegs of ready-to-serve cocktails are available throughout Australia, except Queensland and South Australia, as Aldi cannot sell alcohol there.
There are 9.5 standard drinks on tap, not to be confused with the humble Aussie bully bag.
‘It’s elegant because you serve it in a glass and with ice. It even says that in the instructions,” said one fan.
The Cosmopolitan rose to fame thanks to the popular television show Sex and the City, which features the drink in many episodes.
And, according to Cosmopolitan lovers, the vodka-based premix is a steal at $20.99; It’s $8 more expensive at Dan Murphy’s.
The drink costs about $2.20, which is also much cheaper than buying it.
Aldi fans are rushing to stores to stock up on a limited-edition product they claim will make summer drinks by the pool or sprinklers even better.
Vok bags have been in Aldi before, with one customer lamenting missing out on the Piña Colada option.
Another admitted they did too, until they tried the Cosmopolitan.
“I just received this and I love it,” they said.
Others admitted they also started hoarding drinks.
“They’re perfect for summer and always sell out quickly, so I bought five,” said one woman.
“I’m stocking up too, for Christmas and all,” said another.
Others said they like to stick the boxes in the freezer for a slushy summer cocktail.
Aldi confirmed the cocktail box was in limited supply, after appearing in the Special Buy range on October 16.
The popular piña colada ($22.99) and lime mojito ($19.99) will be available Dec. 18 “in time for Christmas,” according to an Aldi spokesperson.
“We are delighted to see customers enjoying our ready-to-serve cocktails, which are perfect for entertaining family and friends as we head into summer,” they added.
