As part of their Special Buys for Wednesday, April 13, ALDI is bringing a popular "magical" booze buy back to their shelves – and the news has already sent hundreds of liquor fans into a frenzy!

Get ready members – the McQueen Colour-Changing Forest Fruits Gin is back to bring the party!

After selling out in record time last year, one of the most affordable colour-changing gins on the market is set to return to Aldi supermarkets.

Aside from being made from all-natural flavours including juniper, angelica and cassia with the fresh, fruity addition of raspberries and grapefruit, what makes this gin so remarkable is its ability to change colour when various mixers are added.

From its natural colour of royal blue, the drink can turn into a shade of purple, mauve and even blushing rose pink.

Dale McQueen, the managing director and co-founder of McQueen Gin, says the gin is set to bring "a little bit of theatre" to gin o'clock.

"Add a squeeze of lime first and see what shade of pink the gin goes, then add the tonic and it will change again."

McQueen’s Forest Fruits Gin is priced at $49.99 for a 700ml bottle, which is significantly cheaper than similar products in the market.

So members, if this drink is something you would like to get your hands on, we suggest you be quick next week!

Better mark your calendars, folks…

However, if you have that friend or family member who can’t hold their liquor all too well, but you don't want to miss out on the colour-changing aspect of the drink, here's a recipe for you!

Introducing – the Colour-Changing Mojito Mocktail.

The key to the mesmerising colour change in these drinks is the blue butterfly pea powder, which is an ancient herbal plant that is used as an all-natural food colouring.

It is high in anthocyanin and antioxidants, and is also said to improve the immune system, manage weight, reduce stress and anxiety, and regulate blood pressure.

You can get one on this website or this website.

For the rest of the recipe's ingredients, you would need:

• 3 cups of filtered water
• 1/2 cup lime juice
• 3 cups Schweppes soda water or Sprite Mint Flavor
• lime slices
• mint leaves
• ice

Here's how to make the drink:

1. Add the butterfly pea flower powder to the filtered water and whisk until dissolved.
2. Fill tall glasses with ice and pour 1/3 of the way with butterfly pea mixture.
3. Add lime juice and watch the magic happen – your cocktail turns from vibrant blue into pink!
4. Add in the Schweppes soda or Sprite and shake gently for a few seconds.
5. Serve with lime slices and mint leaves. Then drink and enjoy your mocktail!

I tried to buy this item and the Christmas booze Avent Calendar before as gifts. Even tried on line. I was sorely disappointed as they are not available for purchase in Queensland. I think we should be able to purchase on line even if unavailable for in- store purchase
