Sweet-toothed Aldi fans are in for a treat - the budget retailer has added a new flavour to its popular Irish Cream range that rivals Baileys. Aldi's Ballycastle Raspberry Ripple will be hitting the shelves on March 13.
The Ballycastle Raspberry Ripple is a take on classic British dessert Eton Mess - and at £7.49, it is 56 per cent cheaper than Baileys Eton Mess Irish Cream which is £17. The tipple is launching in time for Mother's Day on March 19, and Aldi said it is perfect for gifting.
