AN ICONIC 90s booze is bringing back its original cans after more than three decades.
Shoppers will be able to buy cans of Hooch in its original packaging this summer.
The zesty lemon alcopop is relaunching its 1995 can to celebrate its 30th birthday.
The limited-edition can will be available through all retailers including supermarkets that currently stock the 440ml lemon Hooch can.
It can also be bought at Good Time In, at £38 for a 24-pack.
The limited cans are styled just like the originals – complete with the bold lemon mascot and loud, nostalgic design that had teens everywhere ditching bitter pints for something sweeter.
Newer-style 440ml Hooch cans are already available in the major supermarkets, with prices starting at £1.68 at Asda.
Hooch first landed in 1995 as the fun, fizzy antidote to the “boring beer” scene, and quickly earned cult status with its cheeky attitude and unforgettable taste.
The limited-edition can comes after Hooch made its way into pubs and arenas on taps for the first time.
Jacob Barrett, Hooch brand manager, said: “This isn’t just about looking back – it’s a celebration of three decades of bold flavour, fun and total rebellion against boring drinks.”
“It’s our way of saying cheers to those who’ve been with us since the beginning, and hello to a new generation of Hooch fans.”

How to save money buying alcohol
Alcohol can be pricey if you’re planning a party or hosting an event but there are ways to cut costs.
It’s always important to drink responsibly, here, Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements share some tips on getting booze for the best price.
Stocking up can mean big savings on drinks, especially if you want to buy wine or fizz.
The big supermarkets regularly offer discounts of 25% when you buy six or more bottles of wine. The promotions typically run in the lead up to occasions such as Bank Holidays, Christmas and Easter.
If you know you are going to need booze later in the year, it can be worth acting when you see offers.
Before buying your preferred drink make sure you shop around to find the best price – you can use a comparison site such as pricerunner.com or trolley.co.uk.
Don’t forget that loyalty cards can unlock better savings so make sure you factor that in too.
If you like your plonk, wine clubs can also be a good way to save money and try new varieties. You’ll usually have to pay a membership fee in return for cheaper price so work out if you will be buying enough to make the one off cost worthwhile.
