Gin is so in right now. From a classic G&T to a more adventurous cocktail, Mother's Ruin is becoming more of a staple than ever — and the supermarkets know it...
That's why we decided to take an in-depth look at the best cheap gin across the nation's favourite supermarkets and create this guide to the most affordable options. So, you can tuck into your favourite tipple while sticking to your budget.
Here are our top takeaways:
- Lidl’s award-winning Finton’s Special London Dry Gin (1 litre) retails at £14.19, making it 35p per measure and the cheapest gin (1 litre) we could find in the supermarkets.
- After Lidl, the cheapest own-brand gin is Sainsbury’s London Dry Gin 70cl at £10.49, 37p per measure. If you’re looking for cheap gin online, this is your sign to buy!
- The cheapest 1.5 litre gin can be found at Sainsbury’s and ASDA at £23.00, 38p per measure, while the cheapest 35cl gin came courtesy of Sainsbury’s at £6.00, 38p per measure.
- You’ll find the cheapest Gordon’s gin 1 litre at Morrisons for £17.99 per litre, 45p per measure. And a cheap Gordon’s gin 70cl is available for the best price at ASDA at just £14.00, 50p per measure.
- When it comes to some of the most popular flavoured gins, you’ll want to visit Tesco for the cheapest sloe gin and the cheapest rhubarb and ginger gin.
- Looking for cheap pink gin? The biggest bargain can be found at Aldi for £12.99, 46p per measure, along with a host of award-winning flavoured gins.
- The cheapest gin gift set can be found at Tesco. From pink gin gift sets to an Edinburgh gin gift, you’ll find a robust selection here.
The UK's best supermarket gin offers
Lidl may take the crown for stocking the cheapest supermarket gin, but if you’re looking for more choice, you should explore Aldi’s gin offers too.
These low-cost supermarkets offer 21 award-winning gins between them, from cheap London gin to pink gin to creatively flavoured gin. Boasting an assortment of prestigious medals from the likes of the World Gin Awards, The Spirits Business and International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), these gins prove you don’t have to pay big bucks for quality.
It might come as a surprise to see that Sainsbury’s gin offers give Aldi, Lidl and ASDA a run for their money. Sainsbury’s is home to the cheapest own-brand gin, one of the cheapest gin 1.5 litre bottles, and the cheapest 35cl bottle, covering all sizes and preferences.
Top tip: You’ll generally get more for your money by choosing a larger bottle of gin. So, if you don’t pick up the 70cl Lidl gin, you should head to ASDA or Sainsbury’s for a 1.5 litre bottle to get the most bang for your buck.

Where to buy gin gift sets under £10
Whether you’re looking for a Secret Santa gin gift or a birthday surprise, the supermarket with the cheapest gin gifts is Tesco with options starting from £5-6. But we’d also recommend the M&S light-up gin at Ocado for an extra special gin gift with the wow factor.
Which non-alcoholic gin is the best?
Don’t leave your sober pals out in the cold! Treat them to the best non-alcoholic gin in the supermarkets so they can join in the gin-based cocktail fun.
The cheapest bottles of Gordon’s Alcohol-Free are from ASDA or Tesco. But we’d like to recommend the CleanCo Clean G Non-Alcoholic Gin Replacement as a quality alternative — this one’s available at Tesco for £19.
The cheapest brands of gin
Morrisons gin offers come through when it comes to the big brands — Gordon's gin is just £17.99 per litre compared to the standard £22.50, outpricing ASDA by a penny. But if you’re after a 70cl bottle, you’ll find it cheaper at ASDA.
It’s also worth checking the Tesco gin aisle for any Clubcard discounts. We’ve spotted Clubcard offers for cheap Gordon’s gin 1 litre at £17. So, keep your eyes peeled.
If you’re looking for the cheapest Bombay Sapphire gin and Hendricks gin, you’ll want to look for special offers as these brands currently go for the same price across all the supermarkets. As demonstrated below.

Hendricks gin price at every supermarket
Hendricks is one of the most popular gin brands for your average drinker, toeing the line perfectly between affordability and quality, and offering a refreshing drink at an acceptable price. How do the prices measure up though?

Hendricks gin ASDA 70cl |
£29.00 |
| Hendricks gin Tesco 70cl | £29.00 |

The pricing of Hendrick's gin 70cl is identical across every supermarket, except Waitrose. But if you’re after a smaller bottle as a gift, Ocado and Waitrose offer the choice.
Gordon's gin price at every supermarket
Highly refreshing and utterly crisp, Gordon's is the stuff great G&Ts (not to mention a host of cocktails) are made of. But before you go full Tom Cruise and start mixing your own Long Island Ice Tea, make sure you're getting your bottle for the cheapest price.
There’s more variation when it comes to classic Gordon's, but not much. You’ll find the cheapest Gordon’s gin 1 litre bottle at Morrisons and the cheapest 70cl bottle at ASDA. Happy gin-ing!

Which supermarket has the best pink gin offers?
If you're after something different gin-wise, think pink! Not only can you expect a fresh and fruity flavour, but it makes an excellent gift for gin lovers.
We found that Aldi came out on top for the cheapest pink gin 70cl bottle while Tesco stocked the most expensive. But if you want something a little smaller, Ocado is your best bet… you’d still be paying more than you would for the larger Aldi bottle though. Looks like when it comes to gin, it pays to go big.
