Available now in over 280 Morrisons stores across the UK, the 1.5-litre cocktail boxes are priced at £15 each – or just £12 with a More Card.
That works out at as little as £1.20 per serving, offering premium drinks at pocket-friendly prices.
Each box contains ten ready-to-drink servings and includes a tap-style spout for easy pouring, making it an ideal option for hassle-free entertaining.
It's also the first time shoppers can get premium 'on tap' cocktails from a UK supermarket – a format that's proven popular in bars and pubs.
A spokesperson for Morrisons said: 'We know our customers love a summer get-together, and this exclusive partnership with The Drinks Bureau means they can enjoy top-quality cocktails at a great price.
'It's convenience without compromising on taste.'
The initial launch includes crowd-pleasing favourites such as Mojito, Passion Fruit Martini, and Cosmopolitan – classic flavours that are set to be a hit at any summer event.
Another blast from the past is returning, this time to pub taps around the country.
For the first time ever, nostalgic favourite Hooch will be available on draught, offering a fresh way to enjoy the lemony tipple that first rose to fame in the '90s.
The original Lemon Hooch – a fruity vodka-based alcopop with real fruit juice and 3.4% ABV – is hitting pubs, clubs, and arenas across the UK.
Usually sold in bottles and cans, it will now be served on draught for around £5.50 to £5.95 a pint, depending on the venue.
Jacob Barrett, brand manager for Hooch, said: 'Launching Hooch on draught is a landmark moment for the brand as we celebrate 30 iconic years.
'This isn't just a new format, it's a bold new era for Hooch, designed for longer, more sociable summer serves and promises to bring something refreshingly different to the T-bar.'
The full list of locations has yet to be revealed, but Hooch has promised to announce where you can grab a pint of nostalgia soon via its social media.
The return of Hooch on tap comes as a wave of 90s drinks make their way back into the spotlight.
Bacardi Breezers are also returning to supermarket shelves after being discontinued in the UK, much to the delight of fans.
Meanwhile, Gen Z has been going mad for Buzzballz – round, colourful cocktail drinks that are set to hit Aldi shelves at their lowest-ever price.
It seems retro drinks are having a major comeback.
Morrisons has also launched three new bottled cocktails in-store, with flavours including Bliss on the Beach, Cosmo, and Passion Fruit Martini.
Each 75cl bottle is available for £6, or two for £10 – offering even more value for summer sipping.
Not to be outdone, Schweppes has introduced a new line of ready-to-drink alcoholic cocktails in sleek 250ml cans.
Their Gin Twist and Paloma Bliss flavours are priced at £2.29 each and are perfect for picnics, festivals or a refreshing treat on the go.
Aldi is also getting in on the action with its latest range of ready-to-drink cocktail cans.
With 13 new flavours and prices starting at just 99p, it's a budget-friendly way to stock up your summer drinks fridge.
How to save money buying alcohol
Alcohol can be pricey if you're planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs.
It's always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price.
Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz.
The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter.
If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers.
Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as pricerunner.com or trolley.co.uk.
Don't forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too.
If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You'll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile.

US and Japan agree trade deal to circumvent worst of tariffs
The US and Japan have agreed a trade deal days ahead of the latest tariff deadline set by Donald Trump. Under the terms of the agreement, rather than all Japanese goods being hit with a 24% tax on entry to the US, they will instead be subject to a 15% tariff. Significantly, and unlike the US-UK deal, there is no cap on the number of Japanese cars subject to the agreed lower tariff. The levy on cars and car parts has been brought down from 25% to 15%, making it the first country to secure a reduction in the blanket 25% rate on vehicles. Cars make up more than a quarter of all Japan's exports to the US. Japanese steel and aluminium are still subject to a 25% tariff. Money blog: Rival set to overtake Morrisons It's just over a week until the 1 August pause on tariffs is due to end, itself a six-week extension to the 9 July 90-day freeze US President Trump announced in April. It's seen a win for all parties as Japan is a major trading partner of the world's largest economy. To make the deal happen, Japan agreed to a $550bn (£406bn) investment package of loans and guarantees from Japanese government-affiliated institutions in key sectors like pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. Japan will also increase purchases of US agricultural products such as rice. Market reaction Markets welcomed the news. In the US, the value of a dollar ticked up, and in Japan, the benchmark stock exchange, the Nikkei, gained sizably, and closed up more than 3.5%. The index is comprised of many major carmakers, including Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Toyota, and Mitsubishi, which all rallied following the news. Other Asian stock indexes closed up, including Korea's Kospi, which rose nearly 0.44%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng, which increased more than 1.6%, and Thailand's SET index, which was up more than 2.3%.

Asda to put slow staff on training courses as it battles crisis
Asda is preparing to put its slowest workers on training courses as it steps up a drive to win back customers. The supermarket will look at data on how quickly staff can pick and pack orders for home delivery, as well as if they are putting the correct items in deliveries and making appropriate substitutions. The lowest-performing staff in Asda's home shopping team will be given coaching to make them work more efficiently under the supermarket's plans. Training selection will also be based on other performance metrics Asda tracks. It has suggested this could mean as many as one in five workers will be asked to participate in the training course at any given time. It has similar performance programmes already in place for its drivers. A spokesman for Asda said: 'This proposal to introduce additional coaching to our home shopping colleagues will provide an opportunity for us to engage earlier with colleagues to understand any concerns that they may have or support that they require to help them excel in their roles and deliver outstanding service to our customers. 'This proposal would not introduce any additional targets for our colleagues and does not replace the performance improvement processes we already have in place.' It comes amid a wider push at supermarkets to boost productivity. Last week it emerged that rival Morrisons was stopping shop floor staff from going into stockrooms to remove 'idle time' from the working day. Tesco banned shop floor staff from wearing headphones at work last year under its uniform policy. Bullying fears However, Asda's plans threaten to spark a row with union bosses. This week, the GMB voiced concerns to members over the proposals, saying the approach to coach workers due to their performance would have a 'dramatic impact on colleague wellbeing and workplace stress'. It argued that plans to put as many as 20pc of staff on training programmes would be an 'unnecessary target that will lead to managers bullying colleagues and potentially discriminating against those least able to hit certain targets due to underlying medical or age-related factors'. It has called for Asda to make 'a periodic, randomised selection' of workers to coach rather than doing it based off their individual performance. The GMB said the supermarket should also 'monitor demographics'. It has asked Asda to revise the proposals. Asda executives have been racing to improve standards in stores as the supermarket battles to win back customers. Allan Leighton, who took over as chairman in November, has been funnelling more investment into modernising stores. In May, he said the change in stores had been 'noticeable', with more products on shelves at times when customers were searching for them. It follows years of decline at the supermarket, which has been struggling since its debt-fuelled takeover by private equity firm KKR and the Issa brothers. The most recent figures from Kantar showed its market share slipped from 12.5pc to 11.9pc in the year to the middle of June. At the time of its takeover in 2021, its market share stood at 15pc. As part of plans to revive the grocer, Mr Leighton has been spending heavily on price cuts. He said earlier this year that there would be a 'material reduction' in profitability at Asda as it invested in lowering prices and improving stores. It also recently cut a layer of middle management across its sprawling estate, saying this would 'take out complexity' from the business. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Morrisons boosts store navigation with AI-powered product finder
UK supermarket chain Morrisons has introduced a new Product Finder feature in its mobile app to improve the shopping experience for its customers. The tool, developed using Gemini AI models on Google Cloud's platforms such as BigQuery and Cloud Run, enables shoppers to swiftly find products within stores, even during busy times. During the Easter 2025 period, the product finder registered 50,000 uses per day. Customers can enter a product name into the app and promptly receive details about the item's aisle and specific location in the store - particularly beneficial when stores temporarily change their layouts. Morrisons chief data officer Peter Laflin stated: "Having all our data in BigQuery has allowed Morrisons to create new solutions for customers that wouldn't have been possible before. The app uses Cloud Run to process search terms entered by customers. Gemini AI models analyse these terms and match them with Morrisons' detailed product codes. These codes are then queried against BigQuery, which contains extensive data on product availability and location across all Morrisons supermarkets. The resulting information is quickly communicated back to users. Commenting on the technology implementation, Google Cloud UK and Ireland and Sub-Saharan Africa vice-president Mauren Costello stated: "This is about removing friction from the shopping journey. "By combining the power of Google Cloud's data platform with the reasoning capabilities of Gemini, Morrisons can now directly answer a customer's most immediate need — 'where is this item?' — in a simple and intuitive way." Morrisons operates 500 supermarkets and 1,600 Morrisons Daily stores nationwide and offers an online delivery service that reaches more than 97% of UK postcodes. In June 2025, the supermarket chain disclosed a 3.9% increase in like-for-like sales for the second quarter (ended 27 April 2025) with total sales up 4.2% to £3.9bn ($5.2bn).
