Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.’Tis the season for festive boozing. Dubbed the spirit of the season, M&S’s bestselling snow globe gins have (naturally) sold out – but if you’re looking to light up your Christmas table, Aldi’s sparkly alternative has just been reduced to less than £10.
Hailing from the budget supermarket’s Infusionist range of tipples, the gin features the same flavour, light-up design and gold flake detailing as M&S’s cult bottle.
Better still, the festive range also includes two more flavours of festive gin: a cherry liqueur in a Christmas-tree bottle and a blackberry and blueberry in a star-shaped bottle.
The light-up liqueurs all come in at a low, cocktail-friendly 20 per cent ABV and have edible 23ct gold flakes floating in the bottle. Transforming into a festive decoration worthy of pride-of-place in your drinks cabinet or your tablescape, switch the light on and give the bottle a little shake to get the gold flakes moving.
Whether you’re looking for an easy gift or want to impress your dinner guests this Christmas, here’s everything you need to know about Aldi’s M&S-inspired snow globe gin liqueurs.
