The German supermarket's Classic Summer Punch has long been a fan favourite and regularly returns for the summer months.
It comes in a 0.7L bottle, meaning there is plenty to share around if you're hosting a garden party or summertime barbecue.
According to Laura Stott, The Sun's food and drink expert, you'll 'struggle to spot the difference' between the real and the fake Pimm's.
Like the real product, the dupe is a blend of gin, fruit and grain spirit and comes in a bottle designed to mirror Pimm's.
There is even the iconic Union Jack at the bottom of the label.
Aldi sells the summer drink for just £6.89, where Pimm's normally sells for £22.50.
That's an incredible saving of £16.
Laura said the only difference between the two products is that there is a 'slightly different hue' in the glass and a 'touch more' sweetness.
She gave the product a flawless score of 5/5.
Pimms has long been associated with one of Britain's most famous sporting events: Wimbledon.
The unseen nightmare of living in Wimbledon
The 2025 Championships kicked off on June 23 and end on July 13.
Several fan-favourite players will be returning, including last year's winners Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejčíková.
Emma Raducanu is also playing for the trophy, after being embroiled in controversy last year.
The star was set to play doubles with Andy Murray, in what was set to be the Scottish player's final match at the event.
However, Emma pulled out at the last minute - bringing Andy's Wimbledon career to an abrupt end.
Emma said that she pulled out due to 'stiffness' and said she needed to 'prioritise myself, my singles and my body'.
She was eliminated from the competition by New Zealand's Lulu Sun.
However, Emma has returned to this year's competition in high spirits and has grown close to Carlos Alcaraz.
