The flavours include a Bliss on the Beach, Cosmo, or Passion Fruit Martini, all pre-made and hassle-free for you.
Bliss on the Beach is a fusion of orange, cranberry, and vodka, while the Cosmo includes zesty flavours of orange and lime.
The martini, also a classic vodka cocktail, provides a sweet passionfruit mix.
Not only are these bottles a time-saving way to enjoy some delicious drinks with a busy schedule, but also money-saving.
The Morrison's bottles are half the price of pre-mixed cocktails from big drink brands.
They also provide a cheaper option than buying each ingredient of the cocktails to make.
Morrisons' Party Drinks Buyer, Harry Barker, said: 'With the weather getting warmer and days getting longer, we hope these fruity new additions to Morrisons alcohol offering will be a fun and refreshing accompaniment to any summer event."

Vodka to the Rescue: Morrisons' Unconventional Emergency Tactics
There are around 500 Morrisons supermarkets around the UK, with 1,600 convenience stores.
This launch comes after iconic fizzy drink brand, Schweppes, also launched a series of alcoholic cocktails.
They include a Gin Twist and Paloma Bliss which come in 250ml cans for £2.29 each.
However, brands like Bacardi, Smirnoff, and Aperol have long had a strong presence in the market.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A woman working in a funeral home shared an insight into her unique job Credit: TikTok / @funeralbabe In a viral video, the TikToker known as Funeral Barbie broke down the unique job for her 4.5 million viewers. She explained that she worked as a "cosmetologist for the living" before qualifying as an embalmer. According to the viral funeral director, "beauty school wasn't a total waste". While she still does hair for living clients as a "side hustle", the TikToker mainly focuses on the deceased. Read More On Jobs WORTH IT I make £4,000 a MONTH from my extremely unusual job with NO qualifications "Doing the hair on the deceased is so much more different than doing it on the living and it's not just because of the changes that they will undergo or the challenges that are presented," she said. She revealed that there is a specific art required in this technique of making someone look like they did when they were alive. The TikToker revealed that she is often given a picture to go off, doing her best to recreate the person's appearance after death. She added that she finds her work as a mortiuary cosmotologist to be rewarding as the families of the deceased find comfort in how she makes them look like their old selves. The beauty expert also shared a little known fact about getting embalmed. She described the process as a "spa treatment for your dead body". I quit my £43K job in the UK to be a grape-picker in Italy and have ZERO regrets - I don't get paid but I'm so happy According to the pro, you get your hair shampooed and conditioned and your nails cut, filed, and cleaned. Your ear and nose hairs will also be trimmed and your eyebrows will be plucked as part of the procedure. She revealed that your body is even "massaged" during the emaballment process. The TikToker compared the work of an embalmer to that of a "personal stylist". TikTok viewers shared their thoughts on the revelations in the comments section. "I hope when I pass someone knows how to do my makeup how I have it," one follower said. "This is my dream job but I can't afford the schooling," wrote another inspired commenter. "The one day my husband and kids will leave me alone long enough to have a spa day," joked a third person.

From cuffing season to orbiting and yassify, the A to (Generation) Z of modern dating terms – how many do you know?
Scroll down to find out what terms like 'zombieing' and 'FLR' mean LOVE LINGO From cuffing season to orbiting and yassify, the A to (Generation) Z of modern dating terms – how many do you know? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHAKESPEARE said that 'the course of true love never did run smooth' – and that was before online dating. Finding your perfect match has its challenges, and Gen Z boasts an ever-evolving glossary of terms to describe their romantic lives. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up To help you keep up, read our A-Z of modern dating lingo and know your DINKs from your kittenfishers. A – Affordating: Low-cost dates, like a picnic in the park or a romantic stroll, if you can't afford fancy flowers and expensive meals. B – Benching: Keeping a potential partner on the back burner while you pursue others. C – Cuffing season: Spanning from October to just after Valentine's Day, this is the time it's deemed best to commit to a relationship. READ MORE ON GEN Z NEXT JEN How Jenna Ortega became Gen Z scream queen… Johnny Depp rumour to THAT sex scene D – DINK: Both working and you've got no kids? Lucky you — you're a DINK. The acronym stands for 'dual income, no kids'. E – Ethical non-monogamy: It's not cheating if you talk about it first — or so say believers in this dating style, where couples agree to have other partners. F – FLR: A 'female led relationship' sees traditional gender roles flipped. Women make the majority of the decisions or earn the most money. It should hardly be worthy of comment in 2025! G – Green flag: The opposite of red flag, this term is used by Gen Z for positive qualities in a romantic partner, such as being a good listener, sharing interests or getting on with your friends. H – Hard launch: Not just for celebs, this is where one or both partners confirm the relationship on social media with pics or a status change. I – Ick: Olivia Attwood made the term popular on the 2017 series of Love Island. Getting the ick involves developing a sharp revulsion towards a potential or current partner. The things i've learned as a gen-z traveller J – Jekylling: When someone shows you their 'best self' at first, but later reveals a much darker or toxic side. Named after alter-egos Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. K – Kittenfishing: If catfishing is creating a completely fake online ID, then kittenfishing is its less extreme cousin. It involves, for example, using old photos or exaggerating qualities. L – Love bombing: Showering a potential partner with excessive affection and gifts early in a relationship. M – Micro-cheating: Any blurred-line interactions which could be seen as cheating, such as private messaging someone of the opposite sex without your partner knowing or even liking their Insta snaps. N – Negging: Using insulting or negative comments about someone. O – Orbiting: Being ghosted means never hearing from someone again — but an 'orbiter' is an ex who lurks, watching your social media. P – Pocketing: When a date avoids introducing you to friends and family or posting about you on social media, keeping you 'in their pocket'. Q – Quiet quitting: The act of emotionally disengaging from a relationship without actually ending it. R – Rizz: Shorthand for the word charisma, rizz is the ability to charm and attract someone using confidence, style or good chat. S – Ship: To ship two people means you're rooting for them to be together. T – Talking stage: The period before a couple commit to a relationship, but do have some level of romantic or sexual involvement — which, confusingly, often goes beyond just talking. U – Undercover dating: Otherwise known as sneaking around, this is when you keep a relationship secret as you get to know each other. V – Vibe check: Basically a first date, and a chance to check if you click. W – Win: A successful move in dating or flirting, like scoring a kiss. X – Xennial dating: The outdated practices of Gen X and millennials. If you prefer face-to-face to WhatsApp and have never used Hinge, this term may well apply to you. Y – Yassify: To make yourself look good to impress. Z – Zombieing: When someone who ghosted you suddenly reaches out, it's like they are back from the dead — hence, zombieing.

Scots Haggis eating champion vows to set new record
Alastair wants to win ten titles and smash a previous top time Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE world haggis-scoffing champ has set his sights on bagging 10 titles and smashing a record before he retires. Alastair Ross, 28, has his eyes set on winning the World Haggis Eating competition at the Birnam Highland Games later this month. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Alastair has won the title seven times 3 He says he can demolish a haggis in less than 44 seconds 3 Competitors are set to munch the offal treat at the Birnam Highland Games The butcher, of Dunkeld, Perthshire, has already bagged eight titles and was considering retirement but instead has decided to push on to hit double figures. He can demolish an entire 1lb haggis in less than 44 seconds - which is the current world record held by 33-year-old Lee Goodfellow. Alastair hopes to set a better time and claims the secret to his success is knocking it back with a pint of lager. He said: 'I am absolutely headstrong in the fact I'm going to smash the record with a pint of lager because no one says it's possible. 'I've won the competition eight times, seven times in a row. It's just a wee claim to fame, I guess. I'll be sad if and when I lose it. But I won't stop until I've reached 10. 'I'm going to smash Lee Goodfellow's world record as God intended, with a beer in my right hand.' Alastair first witnessed the offal competition when he was a child and began competing in 2016. Participants must eat a traditional haggis - made from sheep innards, oatmeal, and spices - in as little time as possible. The existing record was set by a rival who downed water but Alastair is keen on doing it with beer. He said: 'My official games record stands at low 50s. Unofficially, I've done it in a butcher's shop and I absolutely smashed that record. 'Other competitors drink water because it doesn't fizz up in your stomach. I've done it with water under the 44 seconds. But I think that's too easy. 'The secret to eating the haggis quickly is forget what you're eating and just chew. I usually just cram as much into my mouth as possible and just wash it down with lager. 'It's not for the faint hearted.' Ross recently took part in an eating challenge to promote Innis and Gunn which saw him put away five helpings of steak and chips. He joked that competitive eating made him pass too much gas and that he'd have to quit to give his loved ones a break. Thousands of contaminated tablets are urgently recalled in UK as Brits fall ill with 'antibiotic resistant Salmonella' But the comment sparked rumours that he would pull out of the haggis eating championship. Alastair added: 'It's just a wee claim to fame, I guess. I'll be sad if and when I lose it.' The winner receives the Willie Robertson trophy, named after a popular local man who previously won the competition. Birnam Highland Games takes place on August 30.
