Asda’s announces FIVE NEW festive drinks as part of award-winning range, including one with a ‘spicy’ twist
Among the line-up is a spiced white chocolate liqueur, which one shopper describes as “perfect”.
Asda’s range of award-winning spirits and liqueurs is perfect for the party season, this year with five new options, including an Extra Special White Chocolate Spiced Cream Liqueur and Extra Special Spiced Clementine & Cranberry Cosmopolitan as part of the line-up.
With prices starting at £8, the drinks are perfect for gifting or stocking up the at-home bar ahead of seasonal soirees.
NEW FOR 2024
The Extra Special White Chocolate Spiced Cream Liqueur (£8) is a new take on a festive classic. With a spicy twist, this triple distilled wheat-based British vodka is blended with smooth Irish whiskey, Madagascan vanilla, aromatic clove, cassia and nutmeg and rich double cream. Shake over ice for 30 seconds and pour into a chilled Martini glass to create the most luxurious cream foam top.
It can also be enjoyed as a decadent addition to an after-dinner coffee or hot chocolate. With an ABV of 17% - it’s enough to feel a festive kick, without overpowering the sweet flavours.
Shoppers are already enjoying this festive tipple available in store and online. One review on Asda.co.uk says, “smooth, whipped like cream with a sweet, white chocolate flavour and a winter spice twist - this is a perfect combination for me”. Another says, “price is excellent, and I was not disappointed. Very rich and creamy drink with the red hut level of spice - perfect for Christmas!”
It joins other award-winning liqueur lines, including the IWSC 2023 Gold medal winner Extra Special Blonde Chocolate Liqueur. With prices starting at £8, customers can find fantastic quality bottles for a bargain price tag.
READY TO DRINK COCKTAILS
Freeing up time for busy hosts to attend to guests, Asda has two new ready-to-drink cocktails for 2024.
The Extra Special Cocktail Raspberry Amaretto Sour (£8) is a refreshingly sweet and sour mix of triple distilled vodka, amaretto liqueur, tangy Scottish raspberry flavour and Madagascan vanilla – best enjoyed with a raspberry garnish.
Best served shaken over ice, in a martini glass and with a clementine and cranberry garnish, is the Extra Special Cocktail Clementine & Cranberry Cosmopolitan (£8). An aromatic blend of triple distilled vodka with sweet clementine flavour and tangy cranberry juice, delicately spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and a dash of Mexican lime.
FLAVOURED GIN
Always a favourite over Christmas, flavoured gins are perfect for a gift or to enjoy as part of a fruity cocktail.
The Asda Distiller Gin Cherry (£15) is a triple distilled London dry gin, infused with juniper, orange, coriander, angelica, liquorice, cassia and orris root. Blended with the natural extracts of black cherry, the gin also offers notes of almond and fresh cherry.
The Asda Distiller Gin Grapefruit (£15) is a pink grapefruit flavoured gin. One shopper on Asda.com says “this is a lovely flavoured gin. It’s a little bit sweeter than most flavoured gins - very refreshing. I've already put another on my next delivery for friends over the Christmas period.”
AWARD WINNING MULLED WINE
In the Good Food Taste Award Winners: Christmas 2024 taste tests, Asda’s Extra Special Mulled Wine (£5) is rated the Best Mulled Wine, with the official review saying, “there’s a rich ‘mull’ quality to this wine and a good boozy flavour that doesn’t drown out the spicing. It’s sure to warm up a gathering of friends and leave them smiling.”
