UK grocery brand Aldi launched the limited edition Solar Gin to celebrate the solar eclipse. The new spirit joins the Eclipse Gin in the Elements by Haysmith’s collection. The Solar Gin is made with premium botanical ingredients, including juniper and schezuan pepper. The spirit boasts a zesty, blackcurrant flavor that evokes the power of plants. The Solar Gin is best served chilled with a splash of tonic and a refreshing cucumber garnish.
The new spirit is from a limited edition batch that was released alongside the Eclipse Gin. These spirits promise an elevated gin sipping experience that has an attached nature-aligned narrative. The new offerings further expand Aldi's reach into the spirits market with premium spirits that are sophisticated and exclusive. Both the Solar Gin and Eclipse Gin are available online and in-store while quantities last.
