Adds ALDI: ‘Enjoy O’Donnells straight, over ice, in coffee, or with your favourite dessert.’

On sale now, the 700ml bottle is a steal - costing less than many bottles of wine.

But how does it taste? One online forum discussed how it compares to Baileys, with surprising results.

While some preferred Baileys, there were definitely some mums who loved the ALDI budget variety.

‘You can tell it’s not Baileys but it’s a nice drink,’ said one, adding: ‘It’s lighter/thinner and slightly sweeter. If you put it in a dessert like cheesecake or ice cream you would struggle to tell if it’s genuinely Baileys or not.’

Added another: ‘I like it!’ Said one more: ‘I really thought it was lovely to drink!’

Sounds like it’s worth a try! O’Donnells is part of ALDI’s Special Liquor Buys for this week, and is in selected stores now. Head to their website for more information!
