Aldi’s much-loved Infusionist Blue Raspberry Vodka is returning to shelves after shoppers called for its comeback – and two more flavours are being released alongside it
Aldi is set to delight fans by bringing back a much-loved dupe of AU Vodka from next week.
From September 9, Aldi’s shelves will once again feature the Infusionist Blue Raspberry Vodka, a hit product known for being a dupe of the trendy AU Vodka. AU Vodka has quickly risen to fame with its distinctive gold bottle and unique flavours that have garnered a cult following. The brand even introduced the UK’s first colour-changing vodka, which “looks like candy floss”, but a bottle will set you back £34.99.
When Aldi introduced their dupe version of the premium vodka for just £16.99, available for a limited period, people rushed to buy it. Food and drink critic @rightguysreview took to TikTok last year, urging followers to “not walk, but to run to Aldi” after he found it in stock. After trying it over ice mixed with Prime, he declared the beverage “amazing”.
“It’s supposed be so good I’ve seen so many TikToks on it,” one excited shopper remarked. “I want it,” another said.
After a period of absence from its stores, Aldi has responded to what it described as “desperate pleas” for the return of this viral vodka. Starting Monday, the sought-after beverage is making a triumphant return, and it’s not alone – as two new exciting flavours are also set to launch.
The line up will be expanded with a fresh pink lemonade flavour and a black grape variant, both priced at the same affordable £16.99 as the original release.
An Aldi representative said: “The Infusionist Pink Lemonade Vodka is a pink treat sure to tantalise the senses. With its citrus notes and hints of fresh strawberry, pair with Aldi’s Vive Twisted Fruits for a tropical fruit punch.
“Reminiscent of the American candy ‘Nerds’, the new Infusionist Black Grape Vodka is the perfect balance of sweet and sour. Mix this purple spirit with Aldi’s Vive Lemonade for a refreshing, fruity beverage.”
