With the summer holidays all but here and Christmas just a few short weeks away, you may be starting to think about your festive season plans. Perhaps you're looking forward to a few weeks off of work, the time to decompress, catch up with mates and some good old-fashioned entertaining at home.

If you are planning to have friends and family over during the summer and are looking for an easy and affordable drink option to make the party pop, Aldi has an option that shoppers are seriously excited about. And the best part is, it requires ZERO effort on your part. Nada!

The product in question is the ready-to-serve Cosmopolitan cocktail, which comes in a 2L box. Now, before you say "You mean like the goon bags we used to drink as teenagers?", no, it's not like that at all! For one thing, these cocktails should be poured over ice, not drunk straight from the nozzle of the bag as it swings off of a Hills Hoist.

"I miss the pina colada but I just got this one and love it," one happy shopper wrote online. "Is this a new item? Will it be available for a while or do I need to stockpile?"

"I'd stockpile... pretty sure they're limited," one person wrote in response.

"This is yummy love this and the pina colada I can’t buy them cause I have no control," another person said.

"Had one or 5 last night - easy to drink," another customer laughed.

Another person asked how much the boxed cocktail - which is a refreshing mix of VOK Triple Sec, Vodka, Cranberry Juice & Lime Juice - cost and was impressed that at $20.99, it was $8 cheaper than their local bottle shop, while some Queensland and SA customers lamented that their local Aldis doesn't sell alcohol.

Indeed, Dan Murphy's sells the refreshing pink beverage for $28.99, making the Aldi buy a real steal.

Making it even more of a bargain is the fact the box contains approximately 9.5 standard drinks, which works out to be about $2.2 per drink! Considering ordering a Cosmo at a bar would easily set you back $24, I think we can all agree this is the booze deal of the century.

It should be noted that the Vok Cosmopolitan is not new, with cocktail enthusiasts singing the praises of the range for a few years now.

After content creator Holly Atchinson reviewed the drink back in 2021, her post was met with comments from other fans of the range.

"The pina colada one hits different," someone said.

"I had the blue lagoon one last week, wasn't bad for $25," another added.

"Try freezing it for a frozen cocktail," was another comment.

If you do manage to get your hands on the Cosmo variety (or if you want to make your own) here's a festive recipe for you to try!

If you do happen to miss out on this special but from Aldi, fear not - your Christmas cocktail party plans are not dashed! One helpful person pointed out that IGA stocks the full range of flavours all year.

Happy cosmo-ing!
