Gin fans have three new reasons to celebrate this week thanks to supermarket Asda.
The supermarket has just launched a range of gins that are not only sparkly, they also taste just like your favourite childhood sweets.
The trio are from Asda’s Extra Special gin collection range.
First on our must-try list is Strawberry Laces Gin.
It’s infused with a sprinkle of glitter and makes for a very shimmery pink tipple.

The gin has that classic, sweet strawberry flavour and is perfect for a fruity cocktail or mixed with lemonade.
The Cola Cube Gin also caught our eye – partly because it’s infused with gold glitter!
It has the unmistakeable taste of cola cubes. Just add it to the mixer of your choice and don’t forget ice and a slice!

There’s good news for fans of the retro rhubarb and custard boiled sweet, too.
The Rhubarb & Custard Gin mixes tangy rhubarb flavours with a creamy hint of vanilla custard.
Mix with cream soda for the ultimate hit!
An Asda rep said: “Novelty gins have become a summer essential for our customers who love to try innovative and wonderful flavours.”
They added: “The new range has been created to ensure the gins are both delicious to drink yet also dazzling to look at, delivering popular flavours we know the nation loves, and at a great price point too.”
Indeed, the 70cl bottles retail at £18 each.

“Cola Cube would be my gin of choice,” said one fan on Instagram.
“Omg I bet they’re nice!” exclaimed another.
“Rhubarb and custard!” another squealed.
“I’ll be on lookout next week at shopping,” another gin fan confirmed.
“Omg no way !! Need to try that! Ohhhh it’s at Asda,” said another.
The drinks are not the only ones to launch in time for summer.
