for a 1l bottle, this is the cheapest option we tasted and is a fraction of the cost of the original Pimm's. This product can get everyone and anyone ready for spritz season this summer – it’s light and refreshing, perfect for the warmer weather. A lovely looking bottle with a nice retro label, Sainsbury's say the 70cl bottle contains 14 servings.

However, the liquid itself is far paler in colour than the better-known brand, more like a blush wine than a vibrant orange.

Intercontinental Brands recently tapped into the trend for Passion Fruit Martinis with the release of its Apollo liqueur. A couple of my testers said they could have happily had this as an evening drink rather than in the sun as it had such a rich flavour.

Aperol is a slightly bitter, refreshing drink, it hails from Italy and if it's good enough to be drunk by Italians in their blisteringly hot summers, it's good enough for me. As the years have passed, the popularity of a summer spritz has continued to grow and that was the catalyst for the creation of our brand new product, Bella Apertini. Most commonly, you'll have it piled high with fruit and mixed with lemonade, but if you're more adventurous there's other cocktails like a Pimm's Royale - Pimms with Champagne served in a flute.The Spritz is one of the best-selling cocktails globally, which is why we wanted to roll out widely across the UK so everyone can have a taste. It is no secret that across the world, and esepcially here in the UK, when it comes to the summer we love a spritz cocktail. Looking at the cost per drink, this was most expensive which you should bear in mind, especially if you can find Aperol on offer, or like one of the cheaper alternatives on offer. It had definite strong orange notes and wasn't sweet as the Aldi version but it was too bitter for some of the tasters.

THESE ready-made cans are a great idea for portable summer al-fresco bevvies at picnics, parks or anywhere else you want to glug on the go. This is a little juicier in flavour made into a traditional spritz, yet equally gluggable and thirst quenching.

If you want extra kick it’s easy to add a measure of your favourite spirit and use one as a mixer for a more traditional style of spritz cocktail.
