Aldi Unveils Pink Grapefruit Gin to Rival Popular Italian Brand Malfy

Aldi’s latest boozy offering serves as a budget-friendly alternative to a popular Italian gin.

On Thursday, Aldi U.K. added a pink grapefruit gin to its award-winning own-label spirit range — and it’s 45% cheaper than rival brand Malfy’s Rosa Sicilian Pink Grapefruit Gin, according to a news release.

Aldi’s new tipple, Haymith’s Rosa Pink Grapefruit, is priced at £15.99 per 70cl and boasts a combination of zesty grapefruit, tangy lemon, juniper and bitter oranges. Per the brand, it’s best paired with a Mediterranean tonic, plenty of ice and fruit slices. Alternatively, a splash of prosecco and a sprig of thyme make for an ideal spritz-style serve.

In addition to its affordability, Haysmith’s Rosa Pink Grapefruit Gin has garnered recognition for its quality, Aldi shared. It recently earned a Bronze medal at the International Wine & Spirits Competition, marking another win for the budget brand’s booze.

In March, Aldi’s Haysmith’s Ginger & Rhubarb Gin was given a score of 98 at the 2023 International Wine and Spirits Competition, deeming it one of the best gins in the world, according to the event.
