IF there’s one drink that embodies summer, it’s the Aperol Spritz.

And with temperatures set to soar in the UK, now is the time to pour yourself a tangy, crisp and refreshing, tangerine-tinted aperitif.

A bottle of the original tipple will now set you back around £18 depending on where you shop.

So, of course, the high-price tag has prompted some supermarkets to introduce their own, cheaper versions.

But are they going to hit the spot on a sunny day?

Aperol Aperitivo Italian Spritz (70cl)

• £17.65, ocado.com
• ABV: 11 per cent

At nearly £18, this market-leading aperitif is the priciest on my list but if you stick to the recommended measurements you will get 20 servings out of it, so I still didn’t think it was too bad in terms of value for money.

It has that distinctive luminous orange colour and I very much enjoyed my tipple.

It has a more natural and herbaceous taste than some of the ‘dupes‘, which I enjoyed.

Worth mentioning also that it’s fairly low on booze with an ABV of 11 per cent.

Fragrant and moreish – but surprisingly, it wasn’t my favourite.

• Taste: 5/5
• Value: 3/5
• Overall score: 8/10

Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Orange Spritz Aperitif (75cl)

• ABV: 8 per cent
• £6.50, sainsburys.co.uk

Light and easy to drink, I found this refreshing and very easy to knock back on a summer‘s day.

It was much fizzier than the big brand and whilst I enjoyed the taste, it did have a slightly bitter aftertaste.

It’s not as boozy as the original but it’s over £11 cheaper so a very wallet-friendly tipple AND a bigger bottle.”

• Taste: 3/5
• Value: 4/5
• Overall score: 7/10

Lidl Bitterol (70cl)

• £6.99, lidl.co.uk
• ABV: 11 per cent

An almost exact copy of the original Aperol.

It has the same glowing, blood-orange huge and a same 11ABV.

Made up into the classic Spritz cocktail, the taste really hits the spot, with the familiar rhubarb, fruity and woody notes that sit somewhere between sweet and sharp in the glass.

Served over ice with prosecco and soda, it’s really hard to tell the difference between this and the original – except at the till where it’s less than half the price.

Definitely worth stocking up for summer.

• Taste: 5/5
• Value: 5/5
• Overall score: 10/10

Aldi Aperini Aperitivo Spritz (75cl)

• £4.29, aldi.co.uk
• ABV: 6.9 per cent

One sip of this and I very nearly thought I was drinking the real deal.

It’s not as boozy with a low 6.9 ABV and the orange colour is much lighter.

It was quite sugary and the texture was a little more syrupy than the others.

But it had the full and vibrant taste of the branded drink. Loved the bursts of citrus and rhubarb. It’s only a little over £4 – amazing value.

• Taste: 4/5
• Value: 5/5
• Overall score: 9/10

Casa Savoia Americano Rosso (50cl)

• £22.25, masterofmalt.com
• ABV: 18.6 per cent

It’s more expensive than the original but this comes in a super pretty bottle and would make a lovely gift.

It’s mixed so you only need to add the prosecco and ice to make your aperitif. It can also be used to make negronis if you prefer.

The bitter sweet flavours are perfectly balanced with notes of bitter orange, cassia, cinnamon, rhubarb and a whole host of other botanicals.

Really enjoyed this and nice that it’s so versatile. It’s not a big bottle and I definitely would have liked more of it.

• Taste: 5/5
• Value: 3/5
• Overall score: 8/10

M&S Low Alcohol Aperitivo (50cl)

• £13, ocado.com
• ABV: 0.5 per cent

For a low alcohol alternative, I really enjoyed this. It had subtle flavours of juniper, pink pepper, coriander, cinnamon and lavender.

The flavours were quite smoky and it wasn’t overly sweet like many of the low alcohol drinks on offer.

Refreshing, with a hint of vanilla. Loved this with soda or low-alcohol Prosecco.

• Taste: 3/5
• Value: 3/5
• Overall score: 6/10

Tesco Spritzi Aperitivo Blood Orange (75cl)

• £5, tesco.com
• ABV: 8.4 per cent

A zesty white wine-based drink which is pre-mixed so you don’t have the faff of mixing it up on your own.

It’s quite aromatic with floral notes but more subtle in flavour than the Aperol.

It was missing a bit of juiciness and a bit of punch and I thought it tasted artificially sweet.

A good price at Tesco though and a decent helping of booze.

• Taste: 3/5
• Value: 4/5
• Overall score: 7/10

I’VE tested my fair share of portable chargers, and this one ticks all the right boxes.

The Aobbow MagSafe Power Bank is on sale right now, down 81% from £139.99 to just £26.99, and it has everything you need.

Aobbow MagSafe Power Bank, £139.99 £26.99

Amazon’s no stranger to solid tech deals, but this one feels like it’s punching well above its price tag.

For under thirty quid, you’re getting a 10,000mAh portable charger that’s slim, travel-friendly, and loaded with features.

It supports wireless charging and comes with two built-in cables, one Type-C and one Lightning, as well as two additional ports.

That’s a rare combo, and a design you usually only see in premium models that cost two or three times as much.

Now, let’s be honest, £139.99 may have been stretching it a bit.

But £26.99 is a real bargain for what you’re getting here, and it’s the kind of deal I wouldn’t think twice about if you need a reliable power bank.

I’ve tested plenty of chargers in search of the best power banks out there, and this one hits that sweet spot between practicality and price.

It’s compact, lightweight, and genuinely useful for everyday life, whether that’s commuting, travelling, or just for a quick top-up on the go.

And I’m not the only one who thinks so.

The reviews on Amazon are overwhelmingly positive, with a near-perfect 4.9-star average and hundreds of buyers singing its praises.

I haven’t had this one in my hand yet, but in my opinion, it has everything I’d want in a portable charger.

It’s designed with iPhones in mind, supporting wireless charging from the 12 series all the way up to the latest iPhone 16 models.

It even sticks to MagSafe-compatible cases, so it stays put while it charges.

If you’re not clear on the mechanics of wireless charging, our tech experts have a straightforward guide on how iPhone wireless charging works.

But the Aobbow is far from limited to Apple gear, it supports wireless charging for Android phones, tablets, and other USB-C devices.

The built-in display shows you exactly how much charge is left, which is a small touch that makes a big difference.

And when you make full use of it, you can juice up to five devices at once, so it’s great for family trips or group travel.

People who’ve bought it seem genuinely impressed.

One reviewer called it a “stylish powerhouse,” adding, “It gave my iPhone 15 about 50% juice in just 30 minutes. 

“The 10,000mAh capacity easily delivers 1.5–2 full charges depending on your model.”

Another praised its convenience, saying, “It snaps right onto my phone and charges fast with the 20W. 

“The built-in cables are a great bonus, and it’s compact enough to carry daily. Great design, fast charging, and no hassle.”

If you’re after a reliable, well-equipped power bank that won’t cost a fortune, this one’s worth grabbing while it’s around.

WHAT could you do with a square meter in your outside space?

Turns out – quite a lot – says Gardeners’ World presenter Nick Bailey – who’s spearheading new campaign Make a Metre Matter.

The Make a Metre Matter campaign runs until the end of June[/caption]

He wants to get Sun Gardening readers involved too – supporting wildlife and sustainability – and making the planet a better place.

“There’s 20 million gardens in Britain. If 20 million people just dedicated one metre, that’s quite a lot of metres isn’t it?,” he told me.

“There are loads of ways you can make a meaningful difference, including growing plants for pollinators, growing veg to cut down on food miles and creating a compost heap.”

Nick’s created a Headline Show Garden for BBC Gardeners’ World Live later this month – with lots of Make a Metre Matter ideas to take home.

He added: “You can grow nine lettuces in that space. You could grow four compact courgettes and supply your family with more courgettes than you could eat for the summer.”

Currently Asda are selling courgette seeds for £2 – and you can get them in the ground now.

“You could choose to put acid compost in there and put four blueberries in there ” he said.

“Within your first harvest you’ve made your money back.”

“Equally you could just sow some British native wildflowers, which could be as cheap as £2 to £3 for a packet.

“It will give you a brilliant long run of colour from May through to October,  with lots of interest for pollinators.

“You could also create a square metre pond. In the first month you’ll have about 10 species in the pond.

“A year down the line you’ll have 20 plus species and it just goes up and up and up.

“Insect and bees will come and feed from there, you’ll support birds, you’re supporting the aquatic life itself.

“It doesn’t have to be a big space to make a big impact.”

If you’re inspired to make a difference – you can register your meter to be entered into a Gardeners World prize draw to win a £1k voucher to spend at Crocus or two runner up Crocus prizes of £500.
